Site specific

Site specific work supported my learning process in various different ways, one of these ways were technically, Site specific worked helped me with articulation of movement and also to pay attention to detail, It also helped me with moving with different parts of my body that I never really paid attention to, I felt as site specific dance helped me connect more with my movement and emotion through dance it really enhanced the way I moved and visualised different spaces.
Site specific research has really benefited my journey throughout this blog and my choreographic journey, it’s opened my eyes and mind to various different things that I don’t usual pay attention to, it also helped me to project emotion in different areas through movement, when I am in the dance studio for movement studies I project the emotion I feel through movement I pay more attention to the atmosphere.

OPEN STARE


I Really like this clip of site specific because the artist doesn't have to do any big form of movement , just a simple stare can project the emotion that the audience can decide that she is feeling, The atmosphere also tells a story , thats why i love site specific because i feel its your own embodiment of a certain site.

Site-Specific Dance : Strangers on Tong Chong Street By Tom Pearson and Zach Morris

Tom Pearson and Zach Morris premiered Strangers on Tong Chong Street (2007), a site-specific dance work for Tong Chong Street (TaiKoo Place) in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong. Part of the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation's SWIRE Island East Urban Dance Festival, and featured along with Collage Dance Theater from LA and local Hong Kong artists. Tom and Zach also taught workshops on their creative process for making site-specific work.

Strangers on Tong Chong Street explores what it means for a group of outsiders to descend upon a site and gradually affix themselves to its geography. Charting a course from an ostentatious arrival, through a cautious navigation of unknown territory, and finally to a state of comfortable activity, the work is often biographical of the process and of the individuals while examining notions of strangeness. The architecture of Tong Chong Street is familiar to its daily inhabitants, but it is the performers in relation to this which establishes a dynamic tension, poses a dramatic question, scrambles the status-quo.
