Consolidating the Chair Motif

Once we had learnt the material for the chair motif and gotten it in our muscle memory, we used the post-show discussion technique to highlight any room for improvement in our performance.
As a group, we were given the following feedback as a company:

• Don't take short cuts when pulling the legs through (Dance Grid- Bar 7, Beats 1-4) by pulling legs through to the side rather than underneath the body.
• More obvious use of dynamics
• Emphasise every point of movement to demonstrate the full range of movement
• To consolidate the transition at the end of the motif (Dance Grid- Bar 7, Beats 7, 8) in order to meet the timing for the next repeat of the motif. 

We were then also given suggestions as individual performers. I was told that my dynamics needed to be more clear and obvious, however the hair flicking dynamics were good at times. To do this I need to put more emphasis in the moments of heaviness, by expelling the breath, I can also do this in Bar 4, Beats 3-8 by exaggerating the contrast between the light and heavy, through almost bouncing from hand to hand.
