On Monday February 11, 2008 the TCU Dance Department had their Brown Bag Performance. I choreographed a piece which was set to the Motion Picture Soundtrack of “The Notebook.” The dance was a contemporary ballet and I am very proud on how it was performed. The dancers did an excellent job of conveying the emotion I intended, and the choreography was completed in a precise way. In addition, many other dancers choreographed pieces as well, one being Caitlin Daetwyler.
Daetwyler’s solo was fluid in movement, and her presence filled the space. Immediately when she began dancing my eye was drawn to her and what she had to say. The choreography flowed nicely, each movement gave impotence to the other, and it was very pleasant to watch. In addition, her expressions and emotions were real and sincere; she invited the audience to take part in her expression. What I like about her style is that it is raw and almost understated, which could be reflected in her simple costume.
From Caitlin, I learned that it is very important to be real and honest in your dancing. Tricks can be entertaining, but what is more entertaining is when someone evokes an emotion inside of you, and that is exactly what Caitlin did.
