Transference of weight

Alignment

The static or dynamic relationship between the skeleton and the line of gravity.

Balance

Core muscles activated

Coordination

Control of transference of weight

Flexibility

Lengthening of muscles through stretching

Muscular control

Correct placement and efficiency of movement.

Stamina

Cardiovascular fitness

Strength

Use of muscles

Transference of weight

Safe dance

Safe dance is the prevention of injury and fatigue of muscles as the are used efficiently. Safe dance also keeps the bone and joints in the correct alignment so the muscles are used correctly.

Principles of safe dance (5)

- correct dance technique


- principles of alignment


- principles of training


- injury management


- prevention

Expressive intention

The theme or concept of the of the dance. May come from personal experience.

Improvisation

improvisation- improv a spontaneous movement without pre planing

Selection

Selection is a part of the movement creation process. Chose the movements you want.

Arrangement

To combine and order movement

Refinement

To make alterations to make clear intention.

Evaluation

To determine if the expressive intention has been reached

Mental preparation


Physical orientation


Marking in spacing

Visualisation

Picturing the movement/dance in your head

Marking in space

Going over the dance/ marking to prevent injuries

Warm up

Getting the body ready for movements

Mental preparation

Preparing yourself mentally for the dance/ Going over it

Marking in space

Getting the spacing right

Physical orientation

The way the dancer is orientated

My expressive intention

I'm a person struggling with mental illness and as the dance progresses I learn how to deal with it.

Group dance expressive intention

5 stages of grief

Body actions used convey expressive intention

Gesture- holding my head showing my struggle with grief.



Locomotion- running around in a circle to show that even though that I want to escape I can't it.

Pre performance process that is used in refinement

Visualisation- as you have visualise the dance in your head and refine the movement.



Marking in space- show you refine the spacing and get it correct.

Form of my solo

ABC

Body actions in my dance

Gesture- showing pain (touching my head)


Locomotion- shows me trying to escape my pain


Elevation- to show that I was trying to escape my pain and I would be free for a minute, but when I come back down to earth it returns.


Falling- I used falling to show me giving up


Turning- battling my illness


Stillness- convey the express intention to the audience

Artistry

The expressive soul of the dance generally expressed through gesture and facial expressions.



I did it through gesture, stillness and eye contact.

Alignment when dancing

Turning -


Pull knees up to put bones in correct placement in order to decrease stress on muscles


Elevation-


Bend your knees when you land to prevent extra pressure oh your muscles.

Requires of safe dance space (7)

How alignment uses physical and technical skills

Decreases stress on muscles and ligaments

How balance l uses physical and technical skills

Prevents people from falling in turns

How coordination uses physical and technical skills

Prevents people from falling over while executing movements

How flexibility uses physical and technical skills

Prevents injuries by having a good range of movement in joints.

How muscular control uses physical and technical skills

Prevents you from falling out of movements

How stamina uses physical and technical skills

Prevents you from becoming fatigue in muscles

How strength uses physical and technical skills

Prevents stress on muscles

How transference of weight uses physical and technical skills

Prevents you from falling into an unready body part l.

Two weakness

Posture- improves by flexibility training to improve range of motion in trapezium.



Left hamstring- improves with progressive overload as you gradually increase the time you hold ten stretch for.
