Form and compositional structures

This study is for the IPP2 final "sketch"...I will post some quotes that I found interesting.

• "form is present throughout nature, in all the forces of the universe, in all stages of life"
• "forming devices: cycles, progressions, stages of development" (water cycle, evvolution of species, structure of the stars and galaxies)-this one gave me some ideas about [H2].
• process of developing material and process of giving it a structure
• "choreographic devices are ways of developing nuggets of movement, enriching and extending an initial movement in order to build a greater body of choreographic material, by manipulating and amplifying the main material"
• "developing and filling out movement seeds"
• organic form- natural growth patterns, like a flower that progresses from seed, to sprout, to plant, to blossom and them to seed again...
• AB form- contrast and variety---> unity
• narrative- the use of stories
• collage- assorted bits and pieces of material (juxtaposition, etc)
• theme and variation- movement phrase repeated a number of times with different shadings.
