First thoughts (A2 advanced portfolio)

I want my A2 media product to be a hand drawn animation, and I want the animation to be an interpretative contemporary dance piece.

My main objective is to create something that will move the spectator; something that will be remembered. This is why it's so important for me to make my animation so that most people can relate to it.

Because the animation will be based on an interpretative contemporary dance piece, it will be easier for the audience to relate to it how they want to: "that's me and my boyfriend/girlfriend", "that's my best friend and her spouse", etc.

I thought a good storyline to use as a base for the choreography would be the story of an emotionally destructive relationship; the kind of relationship where we can't live with a person but we can't live without them.
I chose this topic because I believe most of us have experienced (directly or indirectly) a relationship that we class as destructive, and it's something very powerful, emotionally speaking.

To achieve this, I have the privilege of working with Roni Dunleavy (contemporary dance teacher) and three A2 dancers from Wyke to create a choreography and perform the piece.
