Song in Movement

'composing a song through dance movement'
|
OPEN LAB (March 3-4, 2018)
|
DMo joins longtime collaborator and friend, movement artist Monica Brunello to deliver a creative lab to teenagers and adults at the dance school Bottega Danza in Bologna, Italy. The lab brings forth the challenge to compose a song through dance movement; to make a song visual, where movement is the melody. Using emotion as the start point, the young group of dancers are led through the ReiMoves energy exercise Transformations, which helps participants turn emotions into movement expressions. They are then split into three groups following standard song structure A (Verse), B (Chorus), C (Bridge). From here, groups go on to choreograph their song elements with movement and self-made sounds, inspired by their emotion-based start point and aligning their work with the qualities and purpose each song element contains. At the end, all groups come together to unite elements and perform a completed song formed through dance movement.
