Analysis Of Mark Dendy's Dance Drum

Mark Dendy’s dance drum is a dance that only uses about six dancers who dance to the beat of African Drums. The dance structure seemingly is fast these dancers don’t stay in one specific spot they seem to move all throughout twirling around and moving with the beat. It doesn’t seem to stop one beat and always moves with the beat. The rhythm of these beats seems to be even with every step the dancer takes constructing a beautiful type of movement. The dance changes over the time of course by showing the way the dancer embracing their sense of understanding dance and how it works and what can become of it.

The pattern is structured elegance of understanding how Drum’s movements works and provides a sense of understanding how this dance works

The choreographer wants the audience to feel as if they were up there doing that same dance. Deep down on a spiritual level this dance provides a sense of understanding and how one can correlate with others. It provides African beats the seemingly represent the wild savannah of Africa and the fierce forces of nature seemingly in my opinion is what I see it as but to others it might seem totally different. The dance can be seen in the choreographer’s imagination where they are trying to describe dance through the world in the understanding of nature and the fierce hard ships of how is, such as a storm violently hitting and a boat rocking back and forth on the waves and not really representing sunshine and flowers and herds of horses staggering across the luscious green planes. It truly shows a beautiful master piece in the making and I seemingly get what the choreographer wants to connect with the audience as a whole. The choreographer wants us to understand how we will use it to understanding nature and how it all works in this great big world. This is more so of my own thought and opinion of what this choreographer has these dancers do to set a type of mood and tone to wow us the crowd/audience and makes think while we watch. These fiery movements set a blaze across stage as they move all around not stopping

It’s in control of the outside forces and is a movable site of pleasure because it embodies this dance to connect with it. The body wants to show it can correlate, it can move, it can do anything that this dance lets it do. It’s amazing at what the body can do in a time of dance.

This dance more so reminds me of an art. Not a specific type of art or artist but more of the appealing factor of splattered paint slathered across the canvas. It’s vibrant and lively and spectacular master piece that is always presented in front of an audience who is in awe of how this artist presented such a beautiful yet inspiring piece and what made them want to create it.

If I had to divide this dance into three parts I would divide it as begging, middle, and end. The beginning would fill with how the dance starts to create and its movements flow. The middle is filled with the movements of the body creating and moving the audience making them think and being in awe of this spectacular dance. The end would be the dance making everything coming together while telling a story to the audience so they would wonder too if they can surely be dancing just like that and if this dance connects to them some
