Contact improviastion

Today we chose a second topic from our brainstorm of ideas from "Humanity in crisis" to be performed in the style of contact improvisation. Before we went off into our groups we split into pairs to perform a piece of contact improviastion. I was paried with Kyle to create a quick piece made of 8 movments, me and Kyle decided we would do our piece on a car crash, we started with me on the ground dead and played the event in reverse. After we created our 8 movements we then were asked to add a lift into our piece to end the contact improviastion. We then went off into our devised groups to create our next piece, as a group we decided to base it around slavary with me, Carl, Meg and Dan M as the slaves as well as Toby and Kyle as the guards. We start with the slaves laying down as the guards enter and pull us up from the ground, all the slaves are holdind each other rists to show that they are chained to each other. We then each have our own interaction with the guard, Dan M goes first as he is attacked by Kyle who throws him across the stage. Me and Toby then choragphraghed a fight, in which Toby proceeds to beat me down to the ground. Kyle and Meg then do a lift to the ground that makes it look like Kyle is choking Meg by Kyle placing his hand just below her neck and Meg holding over the hand to make appear as if he is strangling her. Toby and Kyle then kick Carl to his knees and drag him forward, as the slaves we then run up and drag him back then split off into groups of 2 and start our contact improvisation in our pairs. The pairs where me and Carl, Dan M and Meg, Toby and Carl. after our contact improvisation, the slaves are then laid back down on the ground to end the piece.
