Today I focused in the idea of task and score. Actually I started thinking about score and finished realizing that I meant task. I will come to it tomorrow in order to try to define for myself what score is.
Task is what the body does and what happens during the trajectory of the piece. There are different kind of tasks. It can be:
Physical: focused in the mechanical of the body
Imaginative: an image, an abstract situation, an image
An action: a verb
Energetic: exploring a movement quality
A memory: physical or emotional memory.
Task tool number 1: Choose a word that is related with your concept and from this word create a task.
Task tool number 2: Think in a situation that dialoges with your concept and try to create a task from that.
Together with Sara Basco, we found a definition for choreography that would synthetize this way of thinking choreography:
Choreography is a concept represented by acteurs destined to an audience in the space with a certain duration of time inside a trajectory that is divided in tasks that define the choreographic composition.
