He TARTISTIC ORNAMENT It is our flagship proposal in Azul Fest, a space designed to highlight creativity, storytelling, and performance at their finest. This tournament focuses on artists' ability to convey emotions and stories, blending aerial techniques with a unique stage approach.

In it Artistic TournamentWe invite you to immerse yourself in the story you want to tell and express your emotions through a unique combination of movement, music, and visual storytelling. This tournament prioritizes artistic skills, such as dramatization, theatrics, and stage performance, over the technical difficulty of tricks.

Our goal is to highlight the creativity and emotional connection of each artist, allowing technique to be a support for the narrative, not the central axis.

Here you can use the element you prefer, whether it is Fabric, Lira, Trapeze, Aerial Hammock or any of the so-called New Elements, as Straps, Strings, Cubes, Chains, among others. The choice of element will be key to reinforcing your narrative and creativity, allowing you to explore new forms of expression in your performance.

It is determined by Calendar Age, that is, it will depend on the year of birth of the participants and is calculated as follows:

SOLOIST: A participant in an element.

DUO: Two participants on different elements (only in Fabrics).

DUO: Two participants in the same element.

TRIO: Three participants in different elements (only in Telas).

REMEMBER:

A single participant can register for as many choreographies as they wish, provided they are of a different type of tournament, style, or element.

For example, María signed up for the Tela solo in the Sports Tournament and the Artistic Tournament.

Ex 2: Pedro registered in the Sports Tournament for Aerial Hoop Solo Amateur and Aerial Silks Solo Elite.

Routine times will be determined by the general regulations of the Artistic Tournament.

The routine should include both floor work and work on the element, respecting the established times.

The following are the minimum and maximum times allowed for routines:

VERY IMPORTANT:

Failure to comply with the Regulation Time may lead to Disqualification.

Please cooperate, keep your time well.

In all cases the timing of the routine will begin with the 1st choreographic movement or musical note and will end in the same way.

He Artistic Tournament combines visual, audio, and stage elements to create a unique proposal. The pillars of this category are:

Visual and Sound Narrative: Movements, music, and recorded storytelling work together to convey a message or emotion.

Ground-Element Connection: The transitions between ground and air elements are fluid and aligned with the narrative.

Mandatory Recorded Story: This element reinforces the atmosphere and gives emotional depth to the proposal, integrated directly into the music.

Stage Expression: The ability to convey emotions through the body and interpretation.

Originality and Creativity: Innovation in the use of space, movement, and narrative elements is essential.

To participate in the Artistic Tournament, the performance must meet the following requirements:

1. Mandatory Recorded Story (Integrated into the Music):

Must be included in the music track submitted by the participant.

It should not explain the choreography or detail the narrative, but rather complement it with an emotional or conceptual tone.

Example: A voice saying “The forest holds secrets that only the wind can reveal,” in a choreography that simulates a journey through a natural landscape.

2. Soil-Element Connection:

Transitions between movements on the ground and in the air should be organic, fluid, and contribute to the narrative.

Example: A character representing a butterfly could start on the ground, pretending to be trapped, before “flying” into the air element.

3. Narrative Props:

Props must be integrated into the narrative of the performance.

Example: An umbrella could symbolize protection or vulnerability depending on the context, used both on the ground and in the air.

4. Stage Expression:

Movements, facial expressions, and attitude should be aligned with the character or story.

Example: An act about mourning would include slow, expressive movements, with a face that conveys introspection and melancholy.

5. Musicality:

The music should complement the visual narrative, with changes in rhythm that take advantage of dramatic movements or accents.

The judges will have a space on the evaluation sheet where they can choose to indicate weaknesses that led to the reduction of points, issues that need to be worked on, or highlight strengths that they recommend maintaining in the choreography and anything else they believe should be clarified, proposing improvements, advising changes to the choreography, among other issues that will help the participant improve their routine in case of qualifying for the World Cup.
