‘A LINHA CURVA’ – ACCOMPANIMENT Aural setting (An audible accompaniment to the dance such as music, words, song and natural sound or silence).
The musicians have to strike, shout, slap, clap, use body percussion, chant.
There are around 50 instruments used including shakers, congas, bongos, drums
Music all has a heavy Brazilian Samba feel
The accompaniment at the start is cleverly used to immediately grab the audiences’ attention. The female dancers shout ‘Tum Tarakka Tum’ and the rest of the cast respond with ‘HEE HEE HEE’ at the beginning of the piece.
The accompaniment is key in structuring the dance and reflects the structure of a curved line which is also the title and choreographic intention of piece. The music starts on a high with intense chanting and a driving samba rhythm, drops to a gentler pace in Section 2 ( Adage) with a mysterious echoing sound, taps on the drums and a scraping sound, before climbing to a full blown samba until the end with bongos, congos, bass drum, whistles and shakers. This is effective in grabbing the audiences’ attention immediately and then following the calmer middle section, it helps to create a climax to finish the dance.<br>
