Transitions Transition between the movements and the different parts of the performance must flow one into the other. Harmony can be achieved by continuing the common thread. Remember that the entrances and exits are also part of the total performance. Sizes Formations Time Considerations Tempo, time, speed of movement, rhythmic variation Musical variation and rhythm Force Gravity Dynamics Emotions National characteristics Production Entrance and exit Equipment Sound Light Colors Costumes Equipment Event organizers are required to provide a matted performance area. Spring Floor systems are not required.
Larger areas are acceptable.
Unique variations in performance areas are to be clearly stated in event information notices. A list of additional equipment available to participants is to be included in event information notices. Any special equipment that is required for a group's routine, beyond the list published by the event organizers, is the responsibility of the performing group. Any equipment or prop that is brought in for a general gymnastics presentation should correspond to the requirements for safety and performance criteria. The performance arena will have the 42' x 42' FX mat centered.
