River Choreography

The main idea that we can draw from the article is that these large companies in science park are contaminating the world we live in, more specifically, the river. These businesses do their everyday routines in order to be successful business enterprises however they neglect one thing: the well being of Hsinchu residents. I think we can do a routine where we have trash scattered all along the river and we have to do a dance/routine in order to pick it all up. That way we can see the importance of throwing away trash, so we don't spoil the environment. I would suggest doing a scene where we walk through the water but the water in the canal is horrendous. We might be able to use the rocks going across the middle in some neat way. I really think that we should try some sort of trash routine. We can collect a lot of trash and somehow make it into a cool routine where we are dancing (since this is dance class) and picking up trash and throwing it away. I think we would have to incorporate some kind of crawling motion in order to pick up the trash. I think this idea has some potential, but I'd like to hear some other ideas. They might help me finalize my idea or come up with something new.

Nice ideas, Tyler. I really like the choreography that you started working on in class Friday. Is there a way you can incorporate your ideas into that choreography? Can we represent trash without actually using trash in the river? I think it might be more powerful to use less literal movements and perhaps have some kind of voice-over that would explain parts of the article or even quote parts of the article. Or we could go without any kind of voice over and the choreography would be less literal and more open to individual interpretation. What do you think?
