Curriculum content descriptions
manipulate the elements of dance and/or choreographic devices to choreograph dances that communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning (AC9ADA6C01)
Elaborations
- exploring character and mood by experimenting with the elements of dance, developing ideas for a narrative dance such as retelling a story and combining ideas for each section of the story to structure the dance
- exploring a stimulus or analysing other dances to devise a variety of movement possibilities, such as different ways to jump and land, roll and stand or spiral down to the ground, and then selecting, combining, arranging and refining the movements to structure a dance; for example, using some movements in a repeating section that alternates with contrasting sections
- using Viewpoints to frame questions when reflecting on development of their dance, “How is the movement of the body used to represent a story, character or idea?”, “How can we use space, costume or multimedia to communicate meaning in this dance?”
- creating a dance that focuses on use of technical and expressive skills such as control, coordination and balance
- creating a dance that explores a theme or an issue such as a theme from a known text or an issue relating to sustainable ways of living
