Jardi Tancat by Nacho Duato is a dance work communicating the struggles of peasant life...reflecting the catalan culture of spain. The dancer's are peasant farmers,tortured by drought. Motifs to express this include praying movements and ploughing movements. A translation of one of the songs...
My questions were about co-ordination for the core performance...organising the dance as well for my composition and kinesthetic awareness in relation to performance quality for major....i dreaded getting one about kinesthetic awareness!
