The following is a representation of the change and impact of my prototype.
Own image.
As mentioned before, my tool is designed to help in the understanding of figures, but it also has the added benefit of increasing the visibility of how small changes in body position can lead to different outcomes, for example (but hopefully not) falling.
A specifically interesting part of this diagram is the 4th “before” statement, which is a direct quote from one of my aerial classmates who was a beginner in silks (but has the physical strength because of pole dance and acrobatics). “I understand it when I see it but not when I feel it,” she said once. I will know my tool succeeded if this statement is uttered less (or hopefully not at all) by students learning new tricks on the silk.
