Sight of love

Comedydance32 | Dec 10, 2008 | 0

This is the second dance I really want to choreograph

Title: Working Title â€oeSight of Love”
Music: A poem by William Shakespeare, Sonnet 73
Length of piece: About 5 minutes
Dance Style:  Mix between jazz and ballet
How many dancers: 6 dancers, 3 female, 3 male
What type of dancers: The dancers need to have a strong background in jazz and ballet, and they need to be able to emotionalize every dance step they make

Costume:

The blue would be for the main girl dancers and the pink would be for the group dancers

The main guy dancer would have the paint plus a collar shirt; the group dancers would have the pant and the undershirt

Lights: A spot light for the two main dancers
•    Some kind of color light for the group dancers
•    Having a display on the back screen ( picture of happy places like flowers, the beach, the mountains)
The Theme: The theme will be of â€oelove lost”.  The color theme of this dance will be about love. Light colors will be use...
Idea for the dance: I will use two female dancers and two male dancers to express weather I meant by that is coldness the sun setting, the feeling of death. Then I will use one female and one male to tell the story, about losing a love and how someone might go through it. In this dance it will be allot of leaps and turns. This dance is about telling a story of love, emotion and the feeling of what true love means deep in side of your soul. This dance will have two main dancers a guy and a girl that will be fighting with TRUE love while the Group dancers stand in the way as road blocks in there love life.

What I am looking for: Looking for ten people that are in touch with there emotion and are willing to show it. The emotion to be in every step they take, need to paint a picture on what you are feeling, it CANT be JUST act out.
Breakdown of the Poem:
Felling: express the changing of the seasonâ€^TMs coldness the sun setting, the feeling of death
Emotion: Sadness, love, death
Message: To deal with love lost and death and how easy it to happen to anyone

William Shakespeare

Sonnet 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruinâ€^TMd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
In me thou seeâ€^TMst the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west;
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Deathâ€^TMs second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou seeâ€^TMst the glowing of such fire,
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed, whereon it must expire,
Consumâ€^TMd with that which it was nourishâ€^TMd by.
This thou perceivâ€^TMst, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well, which thou must leave ere long.
