Unit 13 and 14 A Doll's House Run Through - 08.02.23

 Film of run-through: An analysis of my progress in the 'A Doll's House' dance Strengths: 1. Discipline - I remembered the sequence and remained focused, I was always ready for each section and knew where I was meant to be.  2. Physical strength and stamina - I do lots of lifting in this piece which requires strength and focus but I don't get tired or sloppy as the dance goes on. I manage to keep the same strength throughout the whole piece and also don't become too breathless by the end.  Areas for Development: 1. Emotion - As I am focused on correctly doing the moves and counting the counts, I seem quite stiff and tense. I want to relax and feel the music more so I am able to convey emotion and tell the story. To help with this I can also work on incorporating facial expressions.  2. Fluidity - When I watch myself each section is very clearly divided and I pause slightly between each one, so to make my movement and storytelling more effective I want to try to flow

  Here are the lyrics to ' El perdón ' El perdón Por las veces que me engañaste Por los hijos que no me diste  Las promesas que no cumpliste Y los besos que no sentiste El perdón.. Por haberte callado tanto Las mujeres que mantuviste Por los abrazos manipulados Por los enfados descontrolados El perdón.. Te lo da Dios Pero yo no Por creerte que eras mi dueño Manipulando todos mis sueños Enredándome con caricias Engatusándome con mentiras El perdón.. Por haberte sentido sucio Con el amor que mi amor te daba Despreciándome con silencios La avaricia tu viva estampa El perdón.. Te lo da Dios Pero yo no Tú te has burlado de mí Pero ha llegado tu fin Te lo da Dios Pero yo no Here is the  English  translation, annotated to show lyric and movement correlation ideas: The forgiveness For the times that you cheated on me,  for the children that you did not give me,  the promises you didn't keep,  and the kisses that you didn't feel,  the forgiveness... For having kept you so quiet,
