Module 3 Video Assignment: EFFORT
Instructions
You will explore movement "efforts" in this assignment.
One way to think about movement is to contrast movement qualities by the effort applied:
- light vs heavy
- direct vs indirect
- sustained vs sudden
FLICK: light, sudden and indirect
PUNCH: heavy, sudden and direct
Watch this video of Alice explaining effort and the way to approach this exercise.
Prompt:
1. Choose a situation from which to springboard into a dance:
- Paint on a large canvas
- Do construction work
- Battle an opponent
- Have a hissy fit
- Some other scenario of your own devising
2. Choreograph a dance based on the situation you chose Use at least four of Laban's efforts from the chart above. Include repetition- if you punch, then maybe punch three or four times, not just one. Don't be stingy!
3. Video yourself performing the dance.
4. Upload your video using Panopto.
