Movement Assessment

My movement assessment kicked off a week of assessments for my course. As I have said before, I have not been able to participate in lessons due to my injury, and I was also not able to partake in the assessment. So, I was given the job of timing the groups so that they all had three mins to complete an improvisation. 


One piece in particular that stood out to me involved a lot of different movements that all juxtaposed. The pieces that worked, and were interesting to watch contained a mixture of sharp movements and flowing ones, they also explored the differences in tempo, energy and how contact can change the piece. Some people's contact work were extremely strong, as they really connected with each other and reacted to the contact. 

I feel the standard of work in this assessment was extremely high. It was extremely useful to watch the other groups and how inventive some where in their use of different movement scores. I only wish that I could have participated in this assessment as it would have been a good chance to practice the art of contact improvisation
