Curriculum content descriptions
Combine elements of dance and improvise by making literal movements into abstract movements (ACADAM013)
Elaborations
- experimenting with realistic movements, that is everyday movement, for example, exaggerating the movement of a single body part such as the arm in brushing hair or eating spaghetti, and blurring this into abstract movements, and responding to each other’s movement ideas
- analysing dances from a range of times and locations, and considering how a single realistic movement can be manipulated from representational to symbolic
- using the elements of dance to develop new movements that still maintain the essence of the original movement
- Considering viewpoints – meanings and interpretations: For example – What was the choreographer’s stated intent for this dance? What ideas did you think the dance expressed?
