WG - Creative use of Materials

As featured at Federation Internationale de Gymnastique website for the 14th World Gymnaestrada 2011 in Lausanne





LAUSANNE (SUI), FIG Office, July 14, 2011: During World Gymnaestrada presentations creativity truly plays an important role in the development of the routines. It is not just about technical performance but also how to integrate different materials to cause a mesmerizing visual impact on spectators.

Everything is acceptable from simple use of garbage bags as costumes, to highly elaborated carrousel equipments. In the case of the Large Group Performances, the materials and colours complement the huge field used as stage. In addition, they add an element to do acrobatics and play around such as stackable wooden boxes.

Other groups have hidden themselves completely for parts of the presentation building suspense in who was behind those exquisite movements. The creativity continues by integrating the same hiding costume throughout the rest of the presentation.
There are still plenty of performances at this year’s edition of World Gymnaestrada and the choreographers seem to be outdoing themselves in creativity.

What will the next presentation reserve for the spectators? We will have to keep checking them out.
