Solo Performance

Documenting the Quartet Performance

Identify the structure of the quartet sequence including the entry points, transitions, and exit points.
Indicate where the movements originate from, whether it be the arms, legs, torso, heads, or feet.
Describe every dancer’s role in the quartet performance. For example, did they all perform the same moves, or were their performances unique?
Track where each dancer moves throughout the performance using a floor plan.

Evaluate the timing and synchronisation within the performance.
Observe the formations and spatial relationships of the performers and describe how these changed throughout the performance.
Consider any props or costumes in the dance sequence.
Listen to the music and pay attention to the beat - did the dancers stay on time? Did they move to the rhythm or the melody?
Compare this performance to other quartet practises to identify areas of improvement.

Look back at the original choreography notes to see if the sequence followed the original plan.
Identify how well the dancers interacted with each other - were they aware of each other’s movements?
Reflect on the mood, emotions and dynamics conveyed during the performance.
Consider audience reaction and feedback, as well as any personal feelings during the performance.
