Blog #1 – MONICA BILL BARNES –

* Discuss the use of technique in the Monica Bill Barnes Dance Company performances. If you did not attend watch the Another Parade piece by Monica Bill Barnes & Company on Youtube and discuss the above.

  I think that the Monica Bill Barnes Company uses a lot of different techniques. I see that they are mostly modern but seems like they have a lot of experience in ballet as well. They used a lot of different motifs in every phrase, and further developed them in many ways. They also tried to be funny at times, and really get into there character when they had different facial expressions. I really enjoyed the variety that they had. In between there movements of dance they would have different gestures that some how kept the phrase going. When they dance you can really read the store that they are trying to portray they make it easy and enjoyable. They used there technique wisely, not always being big but never been small. It was the very simple motifs that really got the audiences attention.
