so last night I watched a performance at LPAC called Caramel this gave me so many ideas regarding aspects of movement that can be used within our piece. the performance was based around the idea of what choreography would taste like. this has allowed me to explore the idea of synesthesia what would emotion look like, or feel like or even smell like. the aspect that our group has chosen to focus on is how emotion can be seen via colours. This brings me onto my next point about the art of Rasa which is associated with Indian dance. each different element within the Rasa have a set colour;
- Love and Attractiveness are represented by light green
- laughter, mirth and comedy represented by white
- fury represented by red
- compassion and tragedy represented by grey
- Disgust represented by the colour blue
- horror and terror represented by the colour black
- heroic is represented by a golden colour
- wonder and amazement represented by yellow
- peace is represented by white

from researching about the Rasa we have decided that we are going to create a narrative within the songs we pick and chose colours to represent the emotion that is being portrayed within the song, this is a sense of synesthesia you will be able to hear the colours and see them it will link two sensory pathways.
