The performance was okay. It could have been much more fluid, we should have practised the transitions more regularly and been more imaginative when thinking of transitions. Our theme was two children playing together, we portrayed this well in our movements, including a jokey handshake at the beginning of the piece and a high five at the end. We used the objective to play, and tried to communicate this threw facial expression and physical movements. However there were times in the piece when I forgot to maintain my facial expression as I was focusing on performing a lift. I could have prevented this by, again, rehearsing our piece more as I would be comfortable in the lift and able to maintain the expression. This lack of expression most likely slightly disengaged the audience.
We should have been more in control of our pace. Pace can also be used to imply emotions, giving the piece a narrative and direction. We should have used it more to our advantage. I also had little control when performing the shoulder rolls as the landing were not soft making the piece feel rigid instead of fluid. When researching how toddlers would play together i watched my little brother and sister for inspiration. Their movements were spontaneous and pure. I tried to replicate this is our performance. We took most of our ideas from things we had learnt in lessons, the beginning of our piece was taken from milling, the two separate rhythms of clapping, fast and slow, and the two different paces, one bouncey and quick the other static.
Overall our performance could have been much better and was moderate.
