Nathan A L6 choreo

  Structure Deciding on music is another crucial factor for me personally. I Like to choreograph to the shape and contour of the music, the dynamics and velocity dictate the way I want to move. Because of how much impact music has on my work I need to know what I’m working with before I start any movement. I have decided on music for the first two sections but not yet the last as I’m  unsure the exact route I want to take in that section.  Music for the first section is “Change Is Everything” by Son Lux Music for the second section is “Lost It To Trying” by Son Lux The grid below shows the key sections in the development of ASIMO, a robot credited to be “ the most advanced humanoid robot in the world” (Obringer + Strickland n.d.). And the topic of the first section. ASIMO (0 - 3.05) 1986 Just legs. 5 seconds between steps 1987-1991 E2 mimics human walk 1.2km/h. E3 3km/h 1991-1993 First autonomous locomotion model E5. E6 autonomous control of balance when going up or down...

Initial ideas, stimuli, and objective of the piece. With the scope of freedom we have this year deciding on an initial idea for a ten minute choreography was difficult. When you can create based on any subject it seems impossible to pick just one. To decide on one topic I had to give myself some limitations. I knew that the project was solo, therefore the topic had to be something I could express through a single body, it also meant that there had to be enough research to provide stimulus for ten minutes of solo movement (while keeping an audience engaged). Finally it needed to be something I was interested in. There is no way I could research and create ten minutes of movement that would captivate an audience if the topic didn't captivate me. After considering these points I decided on the topic of AI, artificial intelligence. This is a topic I am interested in, but only know surface level information about. Which means I am curious to delve deeper into the subject to find out mor...
