HOUSE DANCE

APPLE (YEWON) KIM

Mulchat house dance occurred on March 11th, following the preparation time of three days starting on March 10th when the stimulus was released. There was only a small amount of time, about two hours on Friday, four hours on Saturday, and six hours on Sunday. Our Mulchatians worked hard and put prodigious effort into it, and even though there weren’t any Year 11s, the lower year groups strived and made an excellent piece

The stimulus was Rachel Whiteread’s piece of their house Her sculptures are often read like riddles as they contain unnatural or even paradoxical elements – a room you can’t enter, stairs you can’t climb, and doors you can’t open Her monumental sculptures appear like familiar architectural forms, yet are devoid of utility, leaving the viewer to simply look and consider the meaning embedded in plaster and concrete.

After researching, we found out that Whiteread has created a house piece where she had put cement inside, and peeled out all the covers of the house to only show the inside form

As everyone has a factor that they want to keep private, we tried to depict that as anxiety and compulsion As a house, the individual’s anxiety became a figure that made the individual conceal the parts that were unconfident - we were depicting every aspect of the anxiety itself special thanks to ...

Our house was complimented on their creativity that was made apparent from our different approaches to this topic. Looking forward to the other house dance competition, house glee, we successfully finished this house competition and made favorable memories that will last long.
