Hey gang!
Drex here from DrexFactor.com and today we're returning to the topic of writing choreography.
In my last dance vlog, we talked about using blocking to break down different sections
of a song and to work our choreography around it.
Today, we're going to take a slightly different approach.
What if I told you that to choreograph a dance or poi routine, you don't even need music
at all?
Madness, you say?
Let me show you how to do it and why it might be a better idea than writing to a piece of
music.
Before we dive in, I just want to take a moment to give a shout out to the friends of the
channel!
Big thanks to Dark Monk, Emazing Lights, Flowtoys, Spinballs, and Ultra Poi for helping to make
the videos on this channel possible.
You can visit them all on the web by following the links down in the description of this
video.
So first up: I will totally admit that there's something that feels super satisfying about
seeing dance and more specifically poi and flow arts dance choreographed to a specific
piece of music.
At its best, this type of choreography really works symbiotically with the music to enhance
your experience while also giving you another level of art to appreciate.
But there's also a few drawbacks.
First, it can come to feel overly mechanical, especially when the way you accompany the
music becomes predictable to the audience.
A good choreographer can vary how they approach accompanying the music, but it's easy for
a novice to fall into this trap.
Second, when you choreograph to a specific piece of music you may find that your choreography
is so closely matched to the song that there isn't any room to reinterpret it.
One of the great ways that dance can be made to work as an art is by reinterpreting the
same choreography in multiple contexts.
Giving it a different emotional core or putting it on different bodies or an ensemble.
When you choreograph too specifically to a single piece of music you can lose the flexibility
to do this.
Third, the music can become a distraction.
Sometimes if you use a piece of music that's incredibly well known or is really unique
it can overwhelm the choreography so that people wind up paying more attention to the
music than your dance.
It was actually fashionable in the European Juggling scene for several years to write
pieces that were meant to work without accompaniment at all.
The idea was to try and hold the audience's attention purely with the aesthetics of the
act itself without having to use music to assist it.
I'll also say that I just really like how organic choreography written without the aid
of music can be.
It flows purely from the intention behind it and there's something I find really compelling
about that.
Okay...so the question is, then, how do you choreograph in this way?
So blocking is clearly out, but this is one of those cases where creating free-association
exercises can be really helpful.
I'm going to borrow one from a dance concert I just went to this past weekend.
It's made up of two components.
For the first component, I'm going to think of someone whom I need to forgive.
Someone who has committed an infraction against me or against whom I'm holding a grudge.
I'm going to write a short phrase around that person.
Next, I'm going to think of what it would mean to me to forgive them.
Again, I'm going to try and express this concept through movement.
There's no rules on how long or short either of these phrases have to be.
Now that I have both, I put them together into one piece of choreography meant to reflect
the dual nature of my resentment toward this person as well as the catharsis that comes
from that act of forgiveness.
And here's the fun thing: I can now reinterpret this same phrase in a couple of different
ways.
Let's say that overall I want to convey the weight that this grudge has over me and
the slow process of letting go of the resentment.
With minimal changes, I can make this phrase breathe in such a way that it takes on a timeless
quality that the original choreography might have lacked.
Alternatively, I can reinterpret the phrase filled with anger and the stark contrast of
wiping my hands clean of the situation.
Again, this requires some minimal changes, but the core of the phrase is still intact.
Because the choreography isn't wedded to any one piece of music, I can also now put
my choice of music behind it to embellish it in whatever way I see fit.
For instance I can put something tender underneath it to make it feel more delicate and empathetic.
Or I could put something more percussive and active under it, making it feel much more
lively and energetic.
Because there is no musical association built into the phrase, I can now use music to accentuate
it in any way I want to.
Give this exercise a try!
See what context you can put your choreography in and what interesting dynamics that pulls
out of it.
Or, if you want to go the European Circus route, write a piece with no music whatsoever
and see if you can hold your audience's attention in complete silence.
It's a huge challenge, but it'll definitely teach you a lot about compelling performance.
One last thing: if you try either of these exercises out, post your choreography to Instagram
with the hashtag #drexfactorpoi so I can see your dance.

RWBY AMV - The Beast Within (JT Music) - Duration: 4:33.
♫ Excuse me, I'm new here ♫
♫ How do you do this ♫
♫ My sword's too big ♫
♫ It's a burden to move ♫
♫ Is this normal ? ♫
♫ I'm getting awful blisters ♫
♫ Why does my sidekick have paws and whiskers ? (angry cat) ♫
♫ I never was ever much of a hunter ♫
♫ Don't want any fresh air ♫
♫ Much less a sunburn♫
♫ But I just heard pests are in excessive numbers ♫
♫ Except they're not vermin they're all monsters ♫
♫ Now the fifth fleet needs me to come tag in ?♫
♫ I'd rather kick back, drink mead by the flagon ♫
♫ I've never seen a beast ♫
♫ Forget defeat elder dragons ♫
♫ My weapon's heavy, I bet that's why my feet have been draggin' ♫
♫ I'm not Frodo Baggins ♫
♫ - already wanna go home ♫
♫ I feel like David fighting Goliath without any stones ♫
♫ Agh ! Close call but I dodged and rolled ♫
♫ I just saw that monster swallow another one whole ♫
♫ With fearsome fangs and claws ♫
♫ I'll tear you limb from limb ♫
♫ To fight free from my jaws ♫
♫ You must unleash your beast within ♫
♫ If I gotta do this ♫
♫ I gotta start small ♫
♫ Zorah Magdaros - that'll be the long haul ♫
♫ Tracked down a Pukei-Pukei ♫
♫ felt bad for him though ♫
♫ When I cut his tail off ♫
♫ Wailed on him, smashing his skull ♫
♫ He had his back to the ropes ♫
♫ I loved the action so ♫
♫ I challenged a Ratholos ♫
♫ My ass was toast ♫
♫ Carted off by my Palico, back to camp ♫
♫ Grabbed a lotion and a potion, and went back again ♫
♫ I've been trekkin' with my weapon, guess I'm gettin the hang of it ♫
♫ I built a bone hammer, you could say that I'm nailin' it ♫
♫ Plus a drum made of lightning cuz I wanted to play with it ♫
♫ Rip out a monster collar bone and sharpen my blade with it ♫
♫ I'm a proud hunter now, and I see the appeal ♫
♫ I get prepared in Astera before eating a meal ♫
♫ I tend to ignore how little sympathy that I feel ♫
♫ Whenever executing a creature and hearing it squeal ♫
♫ I wonder how many calories did I burn ♫
♫ Diving out the line of fire from a wyvern ♫
♫ I wacked Anjanath in the face, he's limpin' away ♫
♫ I couldn't help gigglin' when I splintered his legs ♫
♫ And then I'll let him decay, after I get what I came for ♫
♫ Wait, maybe I'm getting a little carried away ? NO ♫
♫ I'm here to take names and break necks ♫
♫ Oh shit did I just wake up the apex ?! ♫
♫ You've stirred my appetite ♫
♫ Your sword will shatter on my skin ♫
♫ I'll hack and slash and bite ♫
♫ Will you unleash your beast within ? ♫
♫ C'mon scout flies, make me proud guys ♫
♫ Find me their hiding spot and I'll stomp out lives ♫
♫ It's about time to climb up and mount spines ♫
♫ Smack' em down, laugh out loud, while they writhe around dyin' ♫
♫ It's the thrill of the hunt, still bubblin' in my blood ♫
♫ I get a little pumped up when I'll kill'em for fun ♫
♫ And then I carve up their carcasses for parts ♫
♫ Their claws and jaws could make great armor - smart ♫
♫ Just a few more scales, a carapace ♫
♫ A Great Jagras mane, a Girros fang ♫
♫ Some Legiana plates, a Barroth scalp ♫
♫ Add Radobaan shell, all kinds of hides and pelts ♫
♫ And then I'll tear the talons right out of yo' toes ♫
♫ Oh no - Anjanath I got your nosebone ♫
♫ I get such a rush when I'm cutting 'em up ♫
♫ So make like Diablos - go back under the mud ♫
♫ Because you're bigger but you're nowhere on my level though ♫
♫ You can choke on your own tail, Deviljho ♫
♫ Call me Kula-La Ku, I'm runnin' circles on you ♫
♫ I take a Michael Jordan leap and treat your head like a hoop ♫
♫ Now tell the Commission, I've picked up the addiction ♫
♫ Cuz I'm rippin' up monsters and I call it a livin' ♫
♫ Don't matter if you're thick-skinned, quick, strong or limber ♫
♫ I'll hit ya where it hurts till I call out TIMBER ♫
♫ Have mercy on my soul ♫
♫ I will surrender at your hands ♫
♫ I'll hunt you to your home ♫
♫ And slaughter all your monster friends ♫
Subtitles by Apotheosis I hope you enjoyed it ! :)

Making Generic Royalty Free Youtuber Music... - Duration: 4:55.
1, 2, 3, and What's up, welcome back to the channel, my
name is Simon Servida.
So if you watch Youtube a fair amount, you probably heard this song....
or this.... or this....
maybe this...
Personally, I hate every single one of these songs, not because they're bad, but they're
just so damn overplayed.
So I thought why don't we add to this library a little bit.
So today we are making generic, royalty-free Youtuber music.
So for this song the points I want to hit is catchy, upbeat, happy....and most importantly....annoying.
I'm going to be using only acoustic instruments so I have a ukulele lets start with some chords.
We're gonna add a clap and we're gonna use the most generic clap rhythm that's ever been
created.
(clapping intensifies) I hate this already........ok let's do the
rest of the drums.
We're using an acoustic kick this time.
And then we're just gonna randomize it and see what we get.
Now we're just gonna think of a really annoying melody.
dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.....ok Ok, this is cool.
What I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna copy and paste it with a marimba, so I want them to
play at the same time.
I want this to be a lot louder.
And I'm gonna bring this up.
So we pretty much have the foundation of the track, so let's just add a couple more things
to keep it more interesting.
This guitar plays the same chord progression just... you know........I'm going braindead.
After many, many, many tries I finally whistled the melody, let's listen to it.
I'm gonna do a second chord progression.
Melody number 2, what's it gonna be?
(scatting intensifies) Ba-da-buh-ba-buh
Arranging time Thank you so much for watching the video I
hope you enjoyed it.

Host Toki Wright introduces "Wright About Now" - Duration: 1:28.
Hey, this is Toki Wright.
I'm going to act like I haven't taken 324 takes to do this.
I want to let you know that this Wednesday night, if you tune your radio to The Current,
you're going to hear my new program.
It's called "Wright About Now," and it is everything that has influenced hip hop and
everything that has come from that root: hip hop to R&B, funk, soul, Afrobeat, Afrobeats,
dancehall, the whole nine.
We're trying to give you a full experience to figure out what is this hip hop thing?
What is the culture?
And what are the things that are happening around it?
You'll also be able to hear music from these artifacts that I have behind me.
These are called compact discs.
Back in the early period of 2010, people used these to transfer music and to have a good
time.
New music from artists like Yaeji.
Maolu has a world premiere.
Some old-school music that has influenced the culture, everyone from Aretha Franklin
to James Brown.
And it's going to be like that every week!
So we want you to tune in.
We want you to be a part of this thing.
And it's really good, you know, to be totally unbiased: It's the greatest program that you've
ever tuned in to in your entire life.
10 p.m. and it's going to be good times.
Wright About Now.

5 Seconds of Summer Talks Releasing New Music After 2-Year Hiatus | Billboard News - Duration: 1:14.
In case you hadn't heard, 5 Seconds of Summer is back
with their first new music in years and the guys are
opening up about it in a new interview with radio.com.
As for that new song you just heard, "Want You Back," bassist Calum Hood
explained that the songwriting process wasn't strenuous
at all, but rather super organic, calling it "very free flowing."
Despite having confidence in the material, Guitarist Michael Clifford
confessed that the nerves were still there upon the single's release.
"I think we were so nervous and I think we still are really nervous
about the rest of the record. We've lived with the songs for two years,
but I think that's what's making us so driven to make sure it's the best it can be."
While this is all leading to the guys' third studio album,
things still feel new, as Ashton Irwin pointed out…
"This era of 5 Seconds of Summer feels like the first era to us."
You can catch the band on the road around the world this spring on tour,
which kicks off March 20 in Stockholm, Sweden
and for more, feel free to head to billboard.com.
Until next time, for Billboard News, I"m Kevan Kenney.
