Use safe dance practice, elements of dance, body actions and improvisations to explore ways of making literal movements into abstract movements
Elaborations
-
experimenting with realistic, everyday movements, for example, exaggerating the movement of a single body part such as the arm in eating spaghetti and blurring this into abstract movements
-
analysing dances from a range of times and locations, considering how a single realistic movement can be manipulated from representational to symbolic
-
asking questions about ideas from other choreographer’s work as a starting point for creating new work, for example, the choreographer’s intention for the dance, or ideas that students think the dance expressed
-
using the elements of dance to develop new movements that still maintain the essence of the original movement
