Synthesize
Synthesize
Explain how the perspectives expressed by a choreographer may impact one’s own interpretation.
Research a question or problem that can be addressed through movement and apply information gathered by creating a group dance that answers the question posed.
Relate
Explain how the habits, ideas, and perspectives from cultures, societies, historical periods, or communities impact the artistic elements in dance.
Accomplished
Creating
Explore
Synthesize ideas from a variety of prompts to create choreography using codified and original movement.
Develop personal movement preferences while choreographing within a variety of movement styles and genres.
Plan
Analyze and explain how the implementation of choreographic devices and specific dance structures in the design of an original dance composition impact artistic intent.
Develop an artistic statement that explains how and why an original composition was choreographed, reflecting on personal, cultural, and artistic perspective.
Revise
Create multiple revisions to an original dance, based on self-reflection and feedback from instructors or peers.
Develop a strategy to document choreography for a specific need.
Example: Use a recording device to video a performance at least three times from three different stage perspectives in order to evaluate the accuracy and quality of that performance. Incorporate Labanotation symbols to document the use of breath in choreography in order to evaluate the use of breath.
Performing
Express
Create and maintain a sense of spatial design in a dance while performing alone and with others, by accurately and intentionally replicating the choreography.
Example: Establish unity among dancers by performing with a common focus.
Experiment with unpredictable tempi and rhythms within choreographic parameters to enhance performance quality and artistic intent.
Example: Within the required timing of a classical ballet adagio, experiment with the tempo by speeding up and slowing down the movement (rubato) to enhance the kinesthetic phrasing of the performance.
Use intentional variations in energy and dynamics to clarify movement phrasing.
Examples: Vary energy throughout a movement phrase. Experiment with different energies at the initiation or ending of the movement phrase and in transitions.
Embody
Apply kinesthetic awareness of other dancers within a group while executing complex spatial, rhythmic, and dynamic sequences.
Implement a plan that applies principles of anatomy, nutrition, body conditioning, and injury prevention to a range of technical dance skills for achieving fluency of movement.
Examples: Identify the muscles required for initiation for a grande battement. Explore and explain the metabolism rates between different food groups.
Plan and execute collaborative and independent rehearsal processes with attention to technique and artistry informed by personal performance goals.
Present
Model and document leadership qualities during the performance and rehearsal process while evaluating methods and strategies to enhance performance, using dance and production terminology.
Examples: Accept notes post-performance from choreographer and apply corrections to future performances.
Produce a dance concert on a stage or in an alternative performance venue and plan the production elements that fulfill the artistic intent of the dance performance.
Responding
Analyze
Analyze choreography and provide examples of recurring patterns of movement and relationships that create structure and generate meaning in a dance.
Examples: Show motif development as a tool for creating theme and variation. Show how ABA may indicate a cycle of life.
Analyze and compare the use of movement patterns and their relationships within a dance in a variety of genres, styles, or cultural movement practices, using genre-specific terminology.
Interpret
Interpret how the relationships of dance, use of body, dance technique, and context enhance meaning and support choreographic intent, using genre-specific terminology.
