MUSIC 150 Lecture Notes - Modern Dance, Lab Report
Document Summary
The portion of suzanne farrell"s ballet that i remember the most was after. It may have been during agon, but it is also possible that it was in part i (it was at the start of agon that i began to have trouble with identifying the transitions between each piece). This portion of the ballet involved the appearance of only a few male dancers at center stage, in the beginning, but then there was an inflow of younger, female dancers from both sides of the stage. They pranced in, going every which way, always crossing each other at center stage. They performed leaps and swings, raising their legs high into the air, over and under each other, almost touching but never getting quite close enough. Whichever dance it was, i went about watching it the same way that. I had been watching the first half of the ballet- trying to find meaning in each dance, a story.
