Actually you have a lot, too much going on here.

If you are doing movement, then find someone specific as your 'case study'/ tradition / influence. If you say you like the Push 'style' you must be able to pin it down to a specific philosophy, set of movements, etc that you can copy. Otherwise it is a no-go. You will run the risk of doing another seemingly dance piece but cannot say how you have evolved the steps/choreo. You must always transfer and APPLY the theory to the practice.

Simultaneously, your story need only come from 1 source. Is it going to be the poem or the Chinese Cinderella? It doesn't mean that for every creative choice you have to hunt down the 'tradition'. Read my infosheet carefully! It's only for the 2 skills you have chosen.

Related to the story: why are you doing this story? How is it personal to you? When I say personal it doesn't mean that you have to personally have a disabled character in your life right now, but what about this story compels you to create a 10-minute piece about it? Most importantly, what new insights do you have about disability that you wish to share with your target audience?

Regarding the 2nd skill - you may still choose monologue as one skill, and add movement as the 2nd. It is easier to work with one new skill than trying out two new skills at one go. The challenge is then how you want to make your mono more dramatic with the infusion of movement.

However if you still want to choose a new 2nd skill, this is something that you have to figure out for yourself based on what you have researched and looked into thus far.

I am going to change my whole idea - Original story

K.I.S.S

Now I'm thinking if I should even do movement.
