Last season saw the three Worlds top Ladies skate beautiful presentations. However, one of the components of the presentation score with regard to Interpretation demands that there be an Expression of of the music style and character and another that demands such expression be maintained throughout the entire program.
At their best in Dortmund, the three Ladies did not seem to be conveying any character in their routines. I saw no Turandot or Tosca and no Odette in Swan Lake. Yet the Ladies skated well without such characterizations, and interpreted the music in their own fashion.
Questions: Would this had affected the scores in Dortmund if the CoP had been used (there were many 6,0s)?
Will depicting a character in Presentation be a factor in the socring of Interpretation in future CoP events? or
Is it absolutely essential to convey a character in the program? (Creating a mood will not do).
