Lucy chose the stimulus “sleep” to create her solo for her GCSE Choreography. “Somnium” is a dance which investigates the amount of power you have to dictate what happens when you fall asleep. With balletic movements that are smooth and soft with sudden faster dynamics to illustrate a power struggle of what happens when you shut your eyes.
