"Imagine a sermon will be preached on Luke 15, and you have been requested to choreo a dance to support the sermon. How will you do it?" Explain your concept, genre, and suggest songs if possible. No need to illustrate actual steps.

hmmm, i think my idea would be pretty cliche, don't mind me! it's a dance to support the sermon right? so shouldn't be too long.

i think i would start off with the light focussed on the left side of the stage, where there is a woman and 9 other kids, playing and dancing together, until like suddenly the woman halt and shush her kids and gave a headcount. she counted once and was frightened, and counted again. shock by the fact that she counted nine instead of ten, she rubbed her eyes and counted once more. then she dashed away to look for the missing kid.

light will switch focus to the middle of the stage where the woman dance in fear and lost, pacing and running and turning in circles on tt area. a lot of crouching, pulling her action, rummaging of hair tt sort of things. (don't mind me, i can't exactly do contemp). as she was one the floor crying, she heard something and picked herself up.

light will switch focus to the right side of the stage when she found the missing kid, an has an obvious change in emotion, dance in a way that illustrate overflowing joy together with the missing kid. together they went to the centre stage where the other nine kids are and all of them we jumping and hopping and dancing with joy!

hahaha, jiali said no need to illustrate steps, but i illustrated it le. paiseh!
so genre: contemp.
contemp cos i felt it's easier to express emotions and get the idea across.
songs: hmmm, i can't think of any. but it's best with songs tt has a variation in beat. i don't even know whether they exist. hahaha.

i wanted to illustrate the parables out one by one, but i felt that it'll be too long. and what's more i wanted to give this a new parable, and someting we can relate to God directly. i was thinking maybe showing kids can relate us as children of God and that we do matter even as an individual. until now i'm still considering whether to put a father or a mother for the dance, cos father would imply God, but mothers are more expressive in their search for a lost child.

sorry if this is brief, first time! give grace!

bridget! =)
