Easter break week 1,2 and 3

week 1

In the first week I decided to go back and follow the triangle of Research, Experimentation, and Reflect from first week lecture of the second semester.  

Research. 

I decided to do research on Pina Bausch so, I can learn and improve my performance. Her movements were simple, powerful, and emotional.

I was sick during Easter break, but I managed to recover quickly and decided to carry on with the construction of choreography step by step.

week 2

Visiting my place in the Arts centre

I went to the art centre to have a look and take measurement of my performance area beforehand. It was important because I was thinking about marking the floor (performance area) with black electrical tape.

Performing my final piece for documentation. 

After putting all the pieces together for my project and the takeover performance, I decided to go to the National Library of Wales and Hugh Owen Library to see different ways of installing documents and maps.

week 3

Reflect.

In the last and final week, I decided to take a break but dive deep into my mind and body to explore my home, my Body, my existence through different senses.
