NAME IS OLEMAUN POKIAK – Choreography Video
M 23 – 42 (first time) Hold hands. Move
into a ¾ semi-circle (igloo/tent) over
the course of these measures – step-together every two bars (each step on the
downbeat). Right foot, together. Left foot, together. 10 steps in total.
M 43 – 44 – Turn to face the centre
M 45 – 58 – Sway SLOWLY right to left (two
bars in each direction) Come to stillness on the downbeat of 59
M 59 – 62 – Stillness. Release hands on the
downbeat of 62.
M 63 – 67 (first time) Tiny steps backwards
on every beat (People on the end, peel back a little bit to open the circle
wider)
M 63 – 67 (second time – immediately after
the first time) Tiny steps on the spot on every beat
M 68 – 70 – Tiny steps forward on every
beat. Last step on the downbeat of 71.
M. 73 – 76
(first time) When you sing, turn to face the audience and break the
circle. (You should move in a cascade)
M 23 – 42 (second time) Hold hands with
whoever is closest (with at least one person). Drift back to a scattered
formation near the back of the stage, same step pattern as before (10 steps
total)
M 73 – 76 (second time) 1st – stillness (still holding
hands)
2nd
– Look & lean to the right, small step with right foot – hold this position
through the fermata (still holding hands)
M. 77 – 78 – Slowly drift back to a regular
standing position, slowly release hands as you go (head comes forward over the
last two beats)
M. 79 – 87 – Stillness
M 88 – Right shoulder back & down
M 89 – Left shoulder back & down (*5
beats)
M 90 – Step back with right foot
M 91 – Step back with left foot (past right
foot)
M 92 – Step right foot to meet left foot
M 93 – 94 – Stillness

SNOWFORMS
– Choreography Videos
Part 1 (sorry, my battery ran out!)
0” – 50” – TBD
55” – 2’05” – Scattered formation, using
the entire stage. Starting on the Soprano entry, slowly drift backward towards
an upstage left clump (A2s in the back of the clump, then A1s, then S2s, then
S1s in the front). Maintain a low centre of gravity, feet should glide along
the floor, and arms should be engaged (imagine there are balloons under your
arms)
On Mauyuk – People in the front row, do a
bit of a lean forward, everyone else clump in behind them (85% - 90% clumped)
2’05 – 3’00” – Each section splits off from
the big clump to form smaller clumps. Soprano 1s end up downstage right.
Soprano 2s end up upstage right (slightly toward the centre). Alto 1s downstage
left (slightly toward the centre). Alto 2s upstage left. You should be still by the time the Sopranos
do their descending Qanit line.
Text : “Father,
Father, please Father…. Pleeeeease can I go to school this year?” His answer
had not changed. On the first “Father” – move to two diagonal lines on
either side of the stage, in a V shape. Sopranos stage right, Altos stage left.
3’00” – 3’35” – Remain in the V position
throughout. Dialogue back and forth.
Text: “That
is what the outsiders will do to you at the school.” Pivot into two straight lines across the back
of the stage.
3’35” – 4’40” – Remain in two straight
lines.
4’40” – 4’50” – Altos take a large step
forward and cross in front while Sopranos cross behind. Create two diagonal
lines (mirror image of 3’00” – 3’35”,
Sopranos stage left, Altos stage right)
5’05” – 5’15” – Move to your position on
stage. Create a channel that runs from
upstage left to downstage right, with Altos on the upstage side and Sopranos on
the downstage side.
5’15” – 5’45” – Move your body into
position and hold.
5’50” – 6’00” – Transition back to standing
up straight.
6’00” – 6’15” (first time) – Create a ¾
semi-circle (similar to the igloo in MNIOP,
but with Altos on stage right and Sopranos on stage left)
6’00” – 6’15” (second time) – You will be
in the semi-circle
6’25” – End – Drift to the very edges of
the stage (ideally in place by 6’40”)
