This week was the week of our group summative assessment. We began as normal, warming up different parts of our bodies, exploring a variety of rhythms, speeds and patterns within each. The warm up this week also included a bit more physical exercise such a jogging through the space. After this we worked on partner based exercises, we were instructed to remain in contact using one part of our body, to choose whether we wanted to push the other person away or allow them to push us away without communicating. As this developed, we then moved on to moving the point of contact between different parts of the body, and using different speeds to move, as well as using a mix of levels. Overall I found the warm up very useful, it covered all of the different aspects of the performance, and even allowed us the opportunity to familiarise ourselves with our partners.
We moved straight into the assessment from this, all of the previous weeks were combined together into the thirty minute performance. I felt good in each of the elements included, even during the logomotion which I have previously found quite difficult to complete with conviction. I feel this was partly due to the fact that this week we had a small audience, but if felt more like a performance piece to me. I think that I was successful in showing all of the different things we have learned within movement, and met the criteria of the performance, working as part of the group, having a sense of originality etc.
