Choreography at Its Best

Choreography is the art of making and arrangement of dances. Choreography involves the detailed description of movements in space, time, energy and rhythm in dance or movements. Choreography is usually used to describe dances that are performed on stages and concerts. The movements in choreography vary and are calculatingly repeated. Now, the principles of choreography are order, beauty and variety. First of all, order is the proper sequence and arrangement of performers during choreography. The performers or dancers are relatively lined up by order as designed by the choreographer. Secondly, beauty is a principle that combines body movement to give pleasure to the sight of the audience. This concept satisfies and elates the senses. It should also be beautifully arranged and should be performed in a rythimical style. The last but not the least principle is variety. This cannot however be overemphasized as too much repetition of dance steps can make the presentation loose its color and can lead to boredom. Variety in choreography ensures that there are diverse movements and steps of body in dance moves. There are a number of collections of varied moves and calculated steps that can be featured in choreography. The variety principle gives a choreographed performance its unique quality.

Labanotation

 1n 1928,  Laban published his kinetographie . This and subsequent expositions of his system for recording dance have made possible the collection of a literature and materials for dance. The system is logical since it is based upon fundamental laws of human motor activity . It's functional since it has been used to record dance and non-dance movement in many styles including balle , gymnastics , exercises, time motion studies in industry , movements of spastic patients to medical records and national dance styles ranging from the subtle movements of the dances of India to the improvisations in America jazz dance . The actual notation signs are abstract in design differing in shape from Feulliet symbols . In principle, however, Laban avows in his book: Principles of Dance and Movement Notation (1956), that: " Our movement and dance notation makes use of the principles on which Beauchamp and Feulliet's choreography was built up some 300 years ago. The graphic principl...

Dynamics of Contemporary Dance

I’m passionate about a lot of things: books, the environment, and the culinary arts. Another passion I have is dancing. I love to watch well choreographed dance presentations and also love to be a part of them. I actually choreographed a dance group back in college and it was so much fun dancing on stage to trending songs then like Kirk Franklin’s “Stomp” and “Revolution”. We became so famous for our unique dance steps that we were invited to almost every Christian program on campus. I still dance especially when I hear good Christian hip hop vibes, and thanks to rap stars in the Christian community who write, rap and sing lyrics that you move your body to without guilt or condemnation. Anyway, this week we are going to be looking at contemporary dance. Now, contemporary dance is modern dance which has been a gradual departure over the centuries from the traditional and ballet dance but draws inspiration from them. This is a free style type of dance which uses body movement not bound b...
