Solo Critique

I think my solo showed the concept and theme of my text well. I started off with many larger moves and more jerking and pulling motions which portrayed the beginning theme of my text which was pulling away from people that you are close to and trying to be free. Until the text started to be read, most of my movement moved from side to side like I couldn't make up my mind of where to go. When the text started, there was more of a purpose to the movement and it stayed a little more in place to show that. The ending section on the floor showed a change in the theme where I was realizing how I had only been fighting myself the entire time. I think the movement was sophisticated and went well with the music. I used the accents in the music but stuck to the text for most of the dance. There were some parts I could have improved to deepen the concept of it though. I edited my music which I think helped the piece because the reading of part of the text enhanced the dance and made it interesting. I think I used all different levels well and had a good floor pattern for the beginning but the ending stayed in place for a while. I think I changed directions for parts and it helped with the "story" of the piece. My costume was a white t-shirt and black shorts which contrasted like the different thoughts and pulling feelings being portrayed in my solo. I'm not sure if my piece had a definite climax but I think it had a strong beginning and end and I performed it to my fullest potential.
