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?
