exploring options for creating and extending movements, alone and then with a partner, for example, forming and changing shapes within space
using questions to explore ways of using forms and elements, for example, dancers consider how they can communicate an emotion or idea, how a shape can be varied, how two shapes can be combined
using stimulus materials to explore ideas for dance, for example, using percussion instruments or body percussion to explore how movements can be varied by performing them at different speeds, or identifying patterns in images and recreating the ideas through movement
