Type Of Choreography: Theme – BARIS

Reasons

1. All the motions and movements are dramatic. It is difficult to tell whether it is the orchestra that follows the dancer or actually the dancer who follows the instruments. In other words, they go hand in hand with each other.
2. Performance is by one single male dancer literally implying motivation to young warriors as they head onto the battlefield and glorify their victory, especially after the field battle. The dancer is energetic and uses his skills to move within the space in an effort to dramatically express his choreography.
3. The dancer has put on white leggings and has coverings all over his body and a special costume all over his body. This is a clear illustration that the dancer is dressed like a warrior, and his dance is meant to motivate and input strength as well as to end fear in junior- incoming warriors.

Reflection

After watching the above dance, I would like to acknowledge and express my sincere gratitude towards the talented group. The Baris is a clear illustration of how talented the dancer is. Look at the way his hands are moving all over the space, and his fingers are moving in the air. Wow! This is wonderful. I am astonished by the movements. I am not even able to tell which is influencing the other; I mean, it is surprisingly hard to tell if it is the dancer influencing the orchestra or the other way.

He shows his powerful energy. Selamat is definitely the best compared to all other Balinese dancers, he is just experienced in a way that he motivates me to keep on watching his dance. I love the way his body movements go hand in hand with the syncopated beats. Look at the way it is possible to unite whole body movements to the rhythms from time to time. To top off his complexity, the repetition of his steps and movement patterns from time to time is just on point. He is capable of connecting steps and sequentially flowing them one at a time in a systematic order. This excellent work makes me try to imitate him, but guess what? It is completely impossible to produce exactly this dance. I recommend this choreography; AWESOME!

This choreography is beneficial to the entire entertainment and dance field as well because it broadens the ability of dance makers to develop unique movement patterns to develop dance goals and impressions to viewers and watchers. Employment of the skills learned from viewing this script helps discover movements and retrieve new territories that generally equip choreographers with new styles and, more often, experiments. In conclusion, time, space and energy are the key crucial aspects of choreography that drive human interests to learn dances and styles.
