The article mentioned two different rivers in Hsinchu --Kerya and Kaoping River.
Kerya River: The water was found to be polluted and had pungent smell. Some Unnatural sex changes occurred to the Ke-Ying conches, and repetitive dead fishes. Dramatic expansion of Science Park resulted in HSIP alone added 185,000 CMD water to the river that contributes 63.6% of the water body.
Kaoping River: A study showed that the river was polluted because of dumped toxic wastes in July 18, 2000.
From the two short introduction above, I think the students can come with gestures such as kneeling on the river bank and weeping. Students can even personify the fish and other organisms living in the river. What I mean by personification is that students can act as those river creatures which died at the end of the choreography because of human-made pollutions. Overall, I am expecting this choreography to have a kind of sad atmosphere.
I also think that water is a symbol of purification, therefore the class can also create another piece that is totally opposite than the other piece I mentioned above. We can come up with ritual gestures that are more holy.
The ideas I have is quite abstract and hard to describe in words. However, the main idea is to present two different themes-- one is positive, one is negative.

I like your ideas for more abstract choreography. I think it is often more powerful to see choreography that is not so literal or narrative. Please share your ideas with the class!
Wow Tina! Your ideas are so powerful. It's so exciting as your teacher to see you make these connections between content and aesthetics. In other words, I can tell that you are able to make connections between the articles you are reading in Global Ethics and the art work you are creating in your dance and art classes.
