How to get the most benefit out of the (judges) system?
By William Chumley
Interactive session for staff members and instructors
If you have had feedback during a contest, how do you use it? And how does that work in one or more captions? William, caption leader for the upstairs captions at WGI, explains how the system interlocks and how you can get the best out of it in terms of choices. Do you adjust your program, or what do you focus on in your rehearsals?
Why are good transitions so difficult?
By Edwin Beens
Interactive session for staff members and instructors
Do you also have such a hard time getting flow in your program? That all ideas continue smoothly, equipment changes are not experienced as an interruption of your program, and the focus is not disturbed by unimportant or less important choices or movements? Then talk to Edwin Beens, technical leader of CGN and experienced international jury member, about these dilemmas. Edwin will use examples to explain why something works, or doesn't.
Movement/Dance
By Hieu Nguyen
Practical session for members (intermediate/advanced, Junior, RA, A)
Hieu will provide a dance class for members. Warm up, cross the floor, dance sequence and how do you use it, and what can you learn from it. Participate actively, and bring your dance clothes. Isn't it nice to be on the floor with other members and learn a lot?
Being expressive with flag!
By Hieu Nguyen
Practical session for members (intermediate/advanced, Junior, RA, A)
If you have danced with Hieu, now you need your flag. Hieu will go through a flag feature in which expressive changes will be discussed. Do you know them? Space, time, weigh and flow? If so, you will learn more about it. If not, this is your chance! Join us, and don't forget to bring your flag and comfortable clothing.
Questions you always had, and answers you admire to get!
By William Chumley
Interactive session for staff members and instructors
No fixed program, but nice time to sit and talk to an experienced instructor, designer and jury member. What have you always wanted to know? What do you find difficult or do you need help with. Collect all your questions and ask William, or just listen to the questions of the others and learn from them! Nice, right, and don't you speak English? No problem, there is someone to help you!
