The following is a representation of the system map of my prototype.
Own image.
My tool is specifically designed to help in the teaching of proprioception in the area of aerial silks, and as such the directly impacted people are the aerial silks students (who want to make sure a figure is safe, who don’t understand immediately the new figures, and who don’t know their left from their right) and the teacher (who are not able to stay all day on top of the silk, and who would like to make the teaching process easier). The main communication happens between these 2 actors, as depicted on the lower part of the diagram, where the teacher explains and then subsequently answers any questions the student might have.
Another aspect to this diagram can be seen in the safety aspect, as parents of students would feel better knowing their children are safe in class and being taken care of, and as such insurance companies or hospitals would not have to be called for any injuries (as I had to do just 2 months ago because of a miscommunication between the aerial teacher and me, the student).
Plus, a third aspect can be seen in the fact that after learning a figure, aerialists can also figure out how to communicate artistic value to an audience through their performance. This aspect is furthered explored in the next post.
