On Friday, December 9th, 2016, my Music class finished presenting our final projects for the semester. All in all, we were very successful in attributing a movement for each note in pitch of the soloist of the song that we chose. In addition to this, everyone in the class did a good job incorporating the song quality and culture into the movement quality and vocabulary. For example, some Hawaiian songs were chosen for some people's projects, and the movement looked related to Polynesian dancing, or at least like it could be seen on a beach in Hawaii.
One thing I thought the dancers of many projects could have worked on was the clarity of the stillness in the silence as it related to the music. For me, there was a lot of slight movement during the silence of many of my peers projects. Maybe this is do to the fact that the dancers didn't take the time to get to know their partner's music as well as they could have, but I would have liked to see more precision in this area overall.
More than anything else, I had fun watching and participating in this final project!
