RGI Artistry - Character of movement - 4 exercises from WCh Valencia 2023

Hi guys! Hope you liked this new content! 🤓

I made this content thanks to the Code of Points and the TC presentations on STS about Artistry. Despite that, like you can tell after this video, judging Artistry is extremely complex, even more if you do it live. My experience in studying and judging remains the one of a student who still has access to judges’ materials, but is not a judge at competitions/judging meetings and courses. Please keep this in mind 🥰.
💥How can I understand if a detail is generic or specific?

It’s all about the music we are listening to in the exercise! If that gesture/move could go with any music style (try to turn the volume off to check), then it’s a generic/neutral detail. Most of the times it’s about stretching out the arm during Difficulties or during preparation of Difficulties, mouse steps, nodding with the head. Even flexing your foot during a Difficulty of Body/Apparatus could be a generic detail if it has nothing to do with the music style chosen for the exercise and it's the only detail that has no relation with the others (if others are present).
📌 Further guidelines for Character judging and comments on the single exercises:

🔹for 0.00 or 0.30 deductions - quality and variety of details are required;

🔸0.00 deduction - during whole routine, but doesn’t mean that every single element must show a specific detail. What is crucial for 0.00 is that the gymnast clearly prioritizes all the possibilities of creating Character in her routine in a variety of ways;

🔹0.30 deduction - majority of the routine;

🔸0.50 deduction - during some parts of the routine / only quantity, no variety in the details;

🔹1.00 deduction - is not only for routines with just technical elements between the Dance Steps, it is also taken if there are 1-2-3 details without harmony between each other, with no clear relation to the specific style of the music, they do not create a unified image.
HOOP ➡️ this melancholic, epic and mysterious at moments music should be interpreted accordingly and not just by putting one arm/hand to the front/side/upwards in a gentle way (very generic details that could go with any music), As a guideline of which type of Character of movement could be developed, look at her Dance Steps: those types of moves should be spreaded everywhere in the exercise in a variety of ways (different body parts and not only arm/hand and with differentiated moves);

BALL ➡️ many details, but without variety: not with the whole body, not with the head, shoulders etc. and not differentiated (it’s always one/two arms stretching out with elegance, delicately - this is specific to the music though, but not enough for 0.3 deduction.

CLUBS ➡️ well done! All body involved, every time different body parts performing new moves that perfectly mirror the style of the music chosen (which is by the way about consumism, but the cover chosen by this gymnast is cheerful and catchy, which she interprets accordingly).

RIBBON ➡️ details are present, they are specific and involve the whole body, but not in the majority of the exercise and with a slight lack of variety (essential for 0.3 deduction). The style of a Chinese dancer is well interpreted.
