"Vijaya, your work in all aspects of the choreography work on the course was very good. You have a rich imagination and have learned to apply the materials this course offers to make your thoughts visible in dance and movement. You have good observational skills and have used these to good effect. Your work demonstrates sensitivity to the responses from your dancers to the tasks you have set, and show good use of their ideas and the material they produced."
