Blog 8 - Research and Working EQ

1.  What is your working EQ?
What is the best technique to impact the public with performing arts? 

2.  What is a possible answer to your working EQ? Please write the answer in thesis format. 

I believe the best way to impact others with dance is by the choreography and music you choose to perform. The reason for this is because choreography is the language of the body and so that is how one can interact and communicate with others and show how they feel through dancing. Also music is a very important role for it can impact people in different ways. Examples are choosing an upbeat song would get people excited and jolly and would have fun watching you dance. While a lyrical, more mellow song would make people watch your technique and choreography with emotion and would allow others to feel how you feel.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

A source that helped me choose this answer was article 11, "Art in the Dark." Reason for that is because it showed how a good choreography and theme can really change peoples feelings in watching performing arts come to life in a magical way. The music was a big impact in this performance because of the how it made people feel. 

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you doing mentorship, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

My mentor is Michael Bailey, a choreographer and founder of Marvels Dance Company. I do most of my mentorship hours at Dellos Performing Arts Studio in Walnut City. What i do is learn how to teach choreography and choose which music to find for the next piece and i fill out paperwork and take class, etc. I believe this helps me with my EQ for i can get how someone who makes choreography chooses its music and makes students feel a special way.
