Drama = theatre, expression, narrative, character

Action = the act of doing something 

How can I convey drama through a simple action/pedestrian movement?

Inspired by real events, dance and the social life becomes mixed

Mix of pedestrian movements and the craft of dancing

What potential does simply 'the doing of a task' have for expressing oneself?

INITIAL IDEA

Topic, real life situation, social/relational 

PLAZA

Interactions between different groups of society: disagreement, ignorance, curiosity

PREKÄR

The in/stabilities of the life of a dance artist

Stability of coming together/be supported by a community

Action-based drama

I want to go away from the expressive style, still drama speaks to me...

Pedestrian movement in dance = dry, everyday, direct, boring, no dance training required, take away intention/dynamics

A process of developing movement material 

TRANSLATE INTO MOVEMENT

Find concrete physical actions

Verbs

Pushing, pulling, grabbing, stealing, teasing, chasing, mimicing, looking away, stepping over

Going towards, reaching out the hand, offer a clothing, help to standing 

Loosing balance, falling, being out of control, being unstable

Supporting each other through catching, pulling and lifting

Craft of dancing = dance technique principles, expression, trained body, in my case: postmodern and contemporary dance styles

The craft of dancing became non dramatic
