Stimuli

• • Nigel Hall’s abstract sculpture ‘Soda Lake’ (1968) based on the Soda Lake in Mojave desert in South America.
• Links to Graham’s ‘Frontiers’ with use of prop to sculpt the space with movement i.e. how the dancer interacts and places herself round it
• Intention

  To show the shape and lines of the sculpture

  • To reflect the landscape of the Nevada desert and lake (in terms of creatures or land mass or heat/stillness)
• Themes

  • Sense of Expanse
  • Shape
• • Structure

  A continuous flow of movement does not necessarily make sections clear

  4 sections (shown through changes in movement and position to sculpture)

  1. Awakening (floor-bound)
  2. Tracing the shape (links to sculpture)
  3. Major section (travel)
  4. Epilogue (focus on sculpture)

  • Form

  Abstract 

  • Climax

  ‘Major section’ 3 as it travels and covers more space.
