RIGODON

-Dance origin

The Rigodon---also called Rigodon de Honor---is a traditional dance from the Philippines that evolved from dances brought to the Pacific islands by Spanish settlers in the sixteenth century (the Rigodon dance was also said to be popular in French and Spanish courts). Historically, the dance is meant to represent a certain sense of elevated status among those who take part in it, and is often performed at galas, balls and other formal occasions celebrated by the rich and powerful, especially those in government.

This movement is shown where the foot is flexed and the knee is bent representing the animalistic nature of Aboriginal culture. Throughout the section ‘Black’ the symbolism of heroism and authority of the male spirit are represented by the instinctive hunting style of the man and the movement of wiping of ochres across the forehead. Additionally the contemporary technique is represented in the section ‘Red’ by the use of parallel feet and contractions and release, used throughout the entire piece of Ochres. To this day, the unique fusion of…

Across Europe, Laban was exposed to many forms of dance, through folk dances of Yugoslavia, Turkey, Germany and the ballroom of Vienna. At one instance in time he was in North Africa where he was able to encounter a primitive African tribe.
