Project 2: Begin Again…
[Group Project with Maddie & Sofie]
For our project, we have decided to combine our three techniques of animation, writing, and choreography by creating an ‘Art Poem’ – to which we will present a video of an animated layer over a choreographed dance video, whilst a poem that corresponds to the movement is read live to the class. While developing ideas for this project, we decided upon creating an uplifting story line (with a tinge of sad undertone – to emphasize the struggle that comes before this self-discovery) for our Art Poem that follows the theme of personal growth, seeing that this is a topic that we all personally relate to and are currently going through.

We are all created to be
What we are expected to be
As we have chosen to be
As we would like to be
But with these desires
We are chained
We are not free
Who we are is defined
By the choices we make in life
But yet we stand
In front of a tidal wave
Struggling
To breathe
As the time goes
As the earth slows
We stand alone
In a brittle shell of hope
Holding on to
Every hope we
Have ever known within our every breath
But yet we know
The only one who can save us
In the end
Is the only one who has held us
The only one who can mend us
The only one to defend us
In the end
So turn the lights off
Rest your head so
That you wake up with the strength
To begin again
