Motif 1 - Development 1 (Addition and Subtraction)

- Bring left hand up to cover face with all fingers spread open and palm facing out.





















- Turn right leg in at an awkward angle, right hand covers face with fingers spread out and palm facing out.





















- Facing the front, bring left hand to turn head to stage right.





















- Stepping on the left leg, bring right hand to head and like a domino effect, stick right leg out to the side and lean off balance --> almost as if hand has hit head, and thus you fall off balance.
--> links to the stimulus because the planes in the 9/11 crashed into the building which eventually led to its collapse.

Motif 2 - Panic

Motif 2 - Panic

- Facing the front, hands are around your ears/head. Roll your head (side,up,side,down). This is done on demi-pointe. 

- Drop onto the floor, do a fish roll backwards. 

- Get onto your side, pushing against the floor, travel backwards.

- Roll onto your back, into a starfish position, changing to the other side than before.

- Get onto your knees and travel on knees - done twice.

- Do a side leap to the side, flexed toes and twist onto the floor. 

- Lie down on the floor.

Brainstorm on Stimulus

Motif 1

- With fingers spread open, both hands come in front of face with the left above the right --> as if protecting yourself.

- Crouch forward with back hunched over, hands over head and fists clenched --> as if protecting head from falling debris.

- Swivel around by crossing left leg over right leg and turning one full round.

- Turn to face stage right and shift weight backwards. Lean off balance on heels, and at the same time crouch forward and cover head like in the previous steps. 

Stimulus

Stimulus - Terrorism, 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The stimulus I have chosen are the suicide attacks that took place in New York on the 11th of September 2001. It is an event that brought the collapse of the 2 buildings (North and South towers) of the World Trade Centre, causing chaos and shock to spread throughout the nation. 4 planes were hijacked on that day and were aimed at mass destruction.  These attacks were carried out by the Islamic terrorist group - Al Qaeda, and involved 19 hijackers. Motives for the attack was America's support for attacks against Muslims and that bin Laden believed that America was just in Islam to rule and dictate. The tragedy claimed the lives of approximately 3000 people, including the lives of 340 firefighters who sacrificed their lives to attempt to save that of others.
