Dance 2/2

In this lesson we had Bu and Jordy do their presentation on Frantic Assembly.

I learnt that Frantic Assembly are more physical theatre based than dance and that they try to make things feel more contemporary by taking old stories and making them newer.

Frantic are known for Chair Duets, Chair duets are usually use three beats which can either be basic or complex depending on the scene or atmosphere. They aim to create thrilling, engaging and enthralling theatre for all ages and have high energy.

We then did a chair duet activity in pairs, this was fun as it was based on conflict, Megan and I based it on between a police officer and a criminal to give it different dynamics.

I really liked doing chair duets and I think that they are really effective within physical theatre or theatre in general as they add a different element to it, I think when we performed it Megan and I did well on our coordination but really need to improve on our energy and focus to do this we need to try and not laugh when performing.
