In my visual poem, I plan to shoot the strength and vigor that goes into dancing, specifically ballet and jazz. I’ll be able to get access since I lead a dance team within CUNY and meet up with dancers every Friday and Saturday. In terms of structure, I’d like to show how the different muscles stretch, some warmups, some tricks and routines.
I’ll be focusing more on close-ups to show how the body moves and the amount of work that goes into it when dancing. Some music I can use is classical piano or intense music to build up the dramatic aspect of the piece. Other sounds I can use are the natural sounds of feet brushing on the floor or labored breaths from the working dancers. I can find the music on several of the websites that were provided in the blog. I plan to use this piece as a way to show the athleticism within dancing and convey a feeling of drama and strength.
