Danielle Misich

Question 2

Intent of set solo

Answer 2

Based on the idea of someone, the dance, not being heard or being unable to express their opinion. Frustration is explored through the interrelationship of external and internal - which manifests within. The connection of the 2 is achieved by abdominal articulations.

Specifications include:

• feet slide on floor
• expressed physically
• don’t over dramatic it

Question 3

Set Solo: Biomechanics - Push floor to standing (step back into plank)

Answer 3

Centre of Gravity -> not go over your base of support, purposely done to complete movement as intended
Balance -> off balance [true falling motion]
Base of Support -> feet only
Transfer of Weight -> full weight from right to left before partial over both feet coming together.

Question 4

Set Solo: Biomechanics - push standing to floor (Plié)

Answer 4

Centre of Gravity -> in centre of base of support
Balance -> stable
Base of support -> small, feet. Gets smaller to balls of feet in the motion of the plié
Equilibrium-> needs to be evenly distributed between both legs

Question 5

Set Solo: Biomechanics - Push floor to standing (brush into arabesque)

Answer 5

Centre of Gravity -> outside your base of support
Balance -> directed to be off-balance
Base of Support -> small, flat left food when leg brushes
Motion -> “continual motion”
Transfer of Weight -> partial transfer as right foot brushes through, close to left leg
Equilibrium-> it is a true falling motion when arabesque reaches a point before body turns and the centre of gravity moves outside of the base of support.
