We have now been split into two separate groups which consist of two research lab groups each. I am working with Harriet, Toni, Sophie, Charlotte, Stacie, Leanne, Beth, Ellie and Becky. We started the session by viewing a video of ourselves in the ’round robin’ exercise from the previous week. This was really helpful and helped me to notice that i need to ensure that when going up in lifts i give my pelvis more in order to perform the movement safely. I’m glad we had time to reflect back on the round robin as it enabled us to see what we could possibly put into our scores in our groups if it was successful.

We then got into our group and began discussing what could be in our scores so that we can carry on discovering or applying things from the previous weeks research lab.

The score we came up with was:
-Everyone must begin out of the space
-Two people out of the space at all times
-Move in clear pathways – Opposite direction to where you start
-If a trio is created then the direction must change within that trio.

we then had to perform this score for 5 minutes to the rest of the group. Overall i think it went quite successfully and we managed to stick to the score that we had set ourselves however there are a few changes that we need to make in the future. These are that we need to:
-Keep on changing and exploring with different levels.
-Use more of the space.

these are things that we will apply next lesson.
