Today we had a great idea with the film students who suggested that we should make a video  in different places e.g beach, woodland and river with us dancing the same choreography in all of them. I have worked on a choreography for this today, however my iPad doesn't want to upload it..I can show it to you guys tomorrow though :) #preservewhatsbeautiful

Ideas for creating a poster for a dance marathon

I thought that creating a poster to support Joanne's idea which was to dance for 10 hours straight, would be a simple and easy advertising process and would gain many peoples attention.The title would be "Dance non stop" and  would be held on the 10th of March 2014. This is just an idea , but would be a successful way to collect donations for our charity.


                                                               

Dance and fitness classes ideas

I had the idea that we could organize a time schedule for people to take part in dance and fitness classes that anyone could participate in. We could ask for a small donation of £2.00 to take part in our class , which would contribute to our charity, " Preserve whats beautiful".

We could teach a class for 45 minutes to an hour on a Thursday evening. The classes would consist of various sequences of movement material , contemporary exercises , ballet , a series of fitness exercises and yoga. Organizing these classes will benefit many people in different ways and will also help us to support our charity to preserve whats beautiful.

 Here are a few pictures which inspired my idea :

 

#PreserveWhatsBeautiful

We want this name to be known!

Not just for the environment but for the dance industry as well!

Dance isn't always about changing and neither is the environment, the only reason why it does change is because of us! 

So if you want to keep the world beautiful, make the right changes! We were born the make this world amazing, not destroy it! 

Absorb the beauty of the trees swaying in the wind, the warmth of the sun on your skin, the water laying still as it calmly enjoys being itself! 

Dance is all about showing everyone the person you are! It's no different to the tree swaying in the breeze.

 Allow nature to happen, because even if it has its twists and turns it is still breathtakingly 

BEAUTIFUL!  

The natural habituate is very important to all living things on this universe, from the animals, to people, to even the fungus on the trees! As soon as that habituate is destroyed or taken away the universe suffers! We need to help protect this and raise awareness in a positive and refreshing way! 

And the way we want to show this awareness is through the elegance of dance!

Dance is a beautiful and natural thing to do, same as breathing! 

Everyone does it! Some just aren't aware!

Think positive and enjoy the beauty of this world! 

 These are some of the places we can take the photos to get our point across :)

There is a couple of areas we can do for the photos and maybe even the filming of the video:

Under the Orwell bridge, which is the picture I presented to you, where there is a forest, river, boats, gorgeous views!

or

There is a beautiful park next to Crown Pools, there is a pond with ducks and there are some stunning flowers and rocks where we can pose for the photos!

But to be honest we can use both :)

Ideas for researching the preservation of the environment

                                                               Preserve whats beautiful 

I plan to research further into the environmental issues that occur more every day not only affecting us, but also having a drastic impact on our wildlife and nature.


Here is a list of some of the key areas I may research further:

• How we could focus on maintaining the present areas of nature and earth which have not yet been touched by us.
• The impact on wildlife 
• Protecting trees - as they connect people to nature and that toxic substances and dumping is killing roots and soil organisms. 

Trade mark ideas

Here is an example of a leotard we may choose as our trade mark.

 The trade mark we have chosen for our charity is a leotard , which will have a printed logo on the front representing our chosen charity. We plan to wear this during the presentation and also in our photos. The leotard could be purchased from dance direct or primark and the cost will range between £5 to £10 each.

Idea About Dance Challenge

I thought we could maybe do a dance flash mob with the title "dance like nobody is watching" were we sart dancing randomly in the street like nobody is watching us and than we go into an unexpected group piece which is happy and uplifting. We could incorporate the concept and ideas from our project and ask for a small money donation at the end of the flash mob :)

These video's inspired me to come up with the flash mob idea and made me smile ---->Dance like nobody is watching  --->Happy dance

Ideas about taking our project further

I thought it would be a good idea to work together with "Just giving", which is a private UK for-profit company that provides tools as well as processing services to enable collection of charitable donations. With the help of this company we could organise a fundraising event e.g a dance performance were we collect money for "preserve whats beautiful". They also have personal challenges e.g shaving your head for your selected charity were people donate to see you getting your head shaved. I thought we could maybe do a dance challenge, like dancing for 10 hours straight (dont worry guys this is only an idea). I believe that working with this company will be an officient way to provide our charity with founds.

TED Talks that keep us inspired about our project

This is one example of beauty <3

We decided to choice this as our logo

This logo represents nature and the freedom that it brings to all of us, which is worth preserving and campaigning for. Our fundamental believe lays in raising awareness abut the environment peacefully, so that everybody notice that we need to preserve whats beautiful.
