The Chase

The Chase Scene!!!

My original post got lost in cyberspace..  So here's what I could save from a lonely draft.

NOTE: Double check if your post have actually arrived on the Blog. Internet can be quite a bitch sometimes.

The Wall Climbing reached it's final phase with 52(!!!) steps.
It turned out to be a short scene of being chased by someone or something in a narrow alley.

Here's the breakdown:


1-7: 7 steps straight slowing down from full speed running to full stop (start with left)

8: Turn around

9:  See the chaser, react (Back leg bends, body falls backwards)

10: Turn aback

11: See doorway move head only

12: Pose for running to doorway, front knee up, foot in air (it will also be the left if the count was right....)

13 - 17: 5 steps into doorway, on 17 back against the door, facing towards the alley

18: Look at chaser (only head)

19: Chaser doesn't notice and runs on... Follow chaser with head.

20. Look at wall

21. Left foot steps out.

23: Look after chaser (head stay facing this way till count 26)

24 - 26: Short steps towards wall spying after chaser

27. Look up wall

28. Pose for jumping (keep looking up)

29. Jump (shoulders down, on tiptoes, straight arms, flat hands vertical)

30. Catch wall (same as 29 but with flat hands horizontal)

31. Drop. (Look forward, hands fixed, shoulders down, heels down)

32. Attack (back to no. 30)

33. Pull body up (Hands move down till chest - fixed point, elbows pointing down)

34. Left elbow turns up

35. Right elbow turns up.

36. Push wall down (arms straight down, shoulders up, heels down)

37. Left foot up.

38. Left leg pose for wall (keep straight line with hands over the wall')

39. Move body over.

40. Push down the wall with 2 hands + left foot (keep straight line!)

41. Left hand up, right foot up.

42. Right foot goes to the place of left hand.

43. Lift right hand up.

44. Pose for jump (looking down!)

45. Jump down (still looking down...)

46. Stand up

47. Dust hands off (be aware of the direction of the movement..)

48. Turn around.

49. See chaser, react

50. Turn back again

51. Pose for run.

52. RUN!

Next weeks group assignment is to create a choreography with these 52 steps, The order of the moves can not be changed but we can play around with the tempo doing it in forwards and reverse, and can put music under it...

Here's a little inspiration from a Japanese dance company - the bastards don't allow me to embed the video so it's just a link this time. (Sally posted on Facebook not so long ago)

MORE NOTES:

When working with the Wall be aware of the dynamics of the movements:

SPEED - RESISTANCE - PUSHING - PULLING
