Choreographers

Choreographers that apply to my music video-

Martha Graham
-1930's choreographer 
-Known as the godmother of choreography
-She did a famous piece called lamenation which is about sorry and grief and she uses an unusual costume to create  sense of writing and dancing about being in your  own skin. 

Video about Martha Graham

Example 

Above there is an example of Martha herself dancing in a long tight outfit. You re able to see the body parts moving and it is expressive. In my music video there will be the protagonist dancing in a long dress and she will be dancing carrying some long material throughout. From watching this video i can connote that each body movement is important in the dancing of 'Lamenation'.There is focus on the foot and then every movement is harsh and all the body parts that are necessary to move do and those who need to stay still do. There is no movement within the dance that is unnecessary. 
 Just from watching the music video I am able to denote that the costume is meant to be representative of a mother layer of skin and that the protagonist is fighting within their own skin and the dancing is showing the emotions. 

Pina Bausch
-Tends to have dancers in long dresses battling the elements (wind, air, water and rocks etc.).
-German performer and choreographer of modern dance and ballet. 

Example 

Above there is an example of the choreographer Pina Bausch and here the dancer is wearing a long red and black dress. This is meant to represent her battling the fall season. There is also a male protagonist helping her survive. We can denote that the female protagonist is weak and she keeps falling and the man keeps catching her.
