One challenge I faced was that I found working with this group quite difficult initially, as they didn’t understand my idea- which is understandable as my ideas are usually quite complex- but I found this a little bit frustrating because I felt like I wasn’t communicating with them very well, but I was stuck in the position of being the person who was naturally leading the group as no other ideas had been put forward.

Initially we struggled with coming up with material that was suitable for everyone in the group, for example we wanted to show fall and suspense through a fall backwards into fish roll, but one of my peers didn't know how to do this and was slightly scared about rolling over her shoulder/neck. To overcome this I taught her how to do a fish roll as well as making sure that I went through each movement in the phrase she found difficult to do, to help to build her confidence.

The main struggle I faced was creating new and innovative movement and pushing outside of my comfort zone, because we were given a sheet for the task that provided clear detail and structure, I didn't feel a need to lead the group as no significant ideas needed to be put forward in order to complete the task.

Personally, I think that I struggled to remain in time with the rest of the group as I have a habit of rushing into things (such as the contraction up from the floor) through over confidence- as I have a larger dance experiene than the rest of my peers- and this affects the unison of the group, I can ensure that I am unified by sensing the energy of the others around me to know when to contract up.

A challenge we faced when performing the floor phrase was trying to keep the correct spacing.
I need to work with the original three who perform the floor phrase as we need to correct our spacing after the slide forward as Charlotte and Harriet needs to clearly be in front of Laura and I- This could be rectified by Charlotte and Harriet aiming to slide further or by Laura and I starting the slide slightly further back in the space, so that we don't travel as far.

In this rehearsal, one challenge I faced was trying to create a solo out of the material we cretaed so far, as their was only a limited amount of movement content

The main challenge we faced when we were given this task was developing the material from a trio into a quartet as there was a limited material we had to develop. To resolve this, I suggested that we start from scratch and develop each movement through additive, embellishment and changing the facings to create a more interesting manipulative phrase. This effectively created more movement content. Another challenge we faced was creating movement suitable for one group member who has had significantly less dance experience than the rest of our group, while also making sure its difficult enough to challenge the rest of us.
