People in modern society do not feel the needs to seek for reason or purpose for their lives, dreams and underlying value and the standards for happiness. In reality, people nowadays are living abide by other people’s standards, losing the balance of their own lives and confused. Being part of meaningless competitions in life, people no longer try with their heart but only make perfunctory efforts. Then at some point, people lose directions and lose ways and heading towards unstable lives.
When one loses the importance of waiting for their dreams to happen and hopes in life, they no longer realize the value and the meaning of their own lives and start living to live up for others. Waiting for one’s dreams to come true itself has a special power. People might start at same starting but where they end up in lives depends greatly on whether we have dreams or not.
This study is to bring out the inner darkness of the lonely minds of the modern people, who are living busy lives, to the brighter side. I tried to show this strong will through the motif, ‘seed’, that has inner meaning of ‘life’.
Art works as the bridge that connects human to nature. Seeds are small and weak but they have limitless will to live on. However, this can’t be seen easily on the outside. Even though it seems they have come to a halt, their constant minute movements show their growth. Through this image, I tried to send out a message of hope on inner value, infinite potentials and waiting.
This creative work called “passing by slowly” shows that even this weak and hard seed has inner value and beauty. To express this symbolic image, I tried to show my emotional imagination through movements of the choreography. I put the images of the seed, repetition and hope in creative choreography in three steps in my work. Also, in the process of choreograph, I put individual memories of the dancers and researchers. Through the combination of the inner and external experience, I expressed sincerity and naturalness. I expressed the natural flow that connects to the two very contrasting fast and slow situation through body movements. Also, to express the transcendence of time and space and also the space of the stage, props and lightings were used well. Calm movements and lights together naturally make dynamic movements and props are expressed along with stage space. This contrasting image brings out the poetic side of the image much better. Eventually, this emphasizes these constant symbolic images.
Such values bring out the inner emotions and the purpose of this work was to show that in body movements. The purpose of this work is to show that even though it seems everything has stopped, we are still growing just like the seeds. Through the purification of minds and motivation, we try to find changed ourselves running towards our dreams.
Life moves us and by studying many symbols inside it and the importance of fundamental emotions and essentials, it influenced to put a hopeful message to make people realize unlimited potentials and hope and also to make them look back on their lives.
