My solo for my 244 dance class was inspired by Jackson Pollocks painting Number 1. The theme for my movement is Beautiful Chaos. The action painting was created by whipping various colors of acrylic paint around on a large canvas. The large scale engulfs the viewer fill their sight down to the peripheral vision. The Chaos comes from the complete disorder and confusion of the paint splatters. It is unexpected yet pleasing to the eye which makes it beautiful. I am the art piece, the Beauty and the Chaos. It was a process to come up with my movement. My creative process is to start with improve to different songs. I'll turn on a random song and start making up movement on the spot. While I do this I usually have my computer film. Later I will go through my footage and decide what movement I liked. from there I will set the moves to the chosen song and create. Below is a photo of the painting that inspired me.
