Blog 21: Exit Interview
Title: Exit Interview
(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is your best answer and why?
What is the most important factor in creating a successful hip-hop dance performance.
Answer 1. Performing with facial expressions and controlled breathing.
Answer 2. Practicing in a non dance environment for different situations before competing.
Answer 3. Exercising your body for stamina, endurance, and maximizing your natural strength.
My best Answer is practicing in a non dance environment for different situations before competing, because without being able to practice anywhere other then your studio, you will limit your space and practice time, making a inefficient routine to perform.
(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?
many hours of mentorship and dance rehearsals from my dance company. Mostly from self experience and advice from other dancers in the community, as well as my mentor.
(3) What problems did you face? How did you resolve them?
One of the biggest problem i faced during my topic was the retirement of my Director from my company, who was also my mentor. This made the company fall behind a little because we had to figure out the new director and co directors. I solved the problem for my project by getting another mentor who is now the new director of Marvels Dance Company, Tawnya Nyugen. I had problems with my third answer because at first i did not know what to come of it i just knew you should workout because dance is a physical sport. I solved this problem by asking choreographers from workshops what they focus on when they workout.
(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why?
The biggest source that helped me accomplish my answers was my dance company itself and my mentor. I relied on them when i needed help or had questions because its one on one experience as well as years of knowledge about dance. My mentor has traveled a lot to dance in different states and cities and so she knows the different cultures and forms of hip-hop dancing, thats why i believe she the most significant source.
My second source i used quite a lot during my project was Articles involving interviews of choreographers who gave one on one tips and advice. One of the websites who have efficient articles involving dance reviews and interviews as well as different hip-hop dance cultures is New York Times - Dance Art.
