Event: 2018-19 Adult Singles Free Skating Requirements – This chart has been updated with the changes from the U.S. Figure Skating Governing Council that will go into effect July 1, 2019 Adult Singles Free Skate EVENT: Theatre On Ice (TOI) Events – Choreographic Exercise (CE) and Free Skate

Format: Theatre On Ice consists of two programs the free skate and the Choreo- graphic Exercise (CE), which is similar to a short program in singles skating. These two events are judged separately. All levels will be judged on both programs for a combined score at the Theatre On Ice National competition.

A Theatre On Ice team may roster from 8-24 skaters. The same number of skaters must skate the CE and FS segments of a competition. A maximum of four rostered skaters may be different between the CE and Freestyle programs. Curtain: There will not be any curtain used for the Theatre On Ice events.

Current guidelines and procedures for Theatre On Ice Choreographic Exercise (CE) and Free Skate can be found at www.usfigureskating.org, under “Pro- grams” on the Theatre On Ice page.

Theatre On Ice is a creation using all aspects of figure skating, incorporating a theme, emotion or story, enhanced by music. It is a package that includes five dimensions: Theme Music/Sound Choreography/Skating movements Performance/The rapport between the skaters and/or sub-groups of skaters Costuming, props and/or scenery

THEATRE ON ICE CHOREOGRAPHIC EXERCISE (CE) Note that the terms and elements in the CE dictionary are drawn from the choreographic terminology of dance. In developing their choreographic exer- cises, coaches and choreographers are encouraged to utilize dance resources online to learn more about the CE axes. Theme: Cultural Dance Creating an alternate universe by demonstrating unique body movement and gestures outside of everyday life. Movement and music based on the tradition and culture of a geographic location. For example, folk dance, African dance, Irish step dance, Samba, Tango, or Salsa. Given the intensely personal nature of cultural dance, teams are encouraged to approach their subject matter with respect and a desire to celebrate the dances from culture around the world. Choreographic Process: Mirroring Imitating the movement of another when facing that individual or group. Gesture: Percussive Sharp, fast, and explosive body movement Theatre On Ice Events and Levels Offered For Competition - All test levels are as of April 1, 2019. - All age requirements are as of January 1, 2019.
