Interpretation is very important when it comes to understanding a dance ‘Work’. It is your job as the
dancer to perform movements that can be easily interpreted and are identifiable by an audience.The
dancer needs to have the capacity to interpret the choreographer’s intention and portray that within
the work.Performance quality involves sustaining control and manipulation of space, time and dynamics
in relation to the work performed. It also involves the demonstration of the quality of line, projection,
commitment and kinaesthetic awareness which lead to a clear interpretation of a work. Individual
audience members will interpret movement and will relate to a work in a different way based on their
religion, life experiences and personal views, however it is the dancer’s ability to perform movement
with a clear sense of interpretation, that will allow the choreographer’s intent to be seen.The
choreographic interpretation of "Adunni olorisha" is the evil that man drives leads to destruction.when
man tries to potray thierselves good where'as they do bad underneath of them..
