Curriculum content descriptions
Explore movement and choreographic devices using the elements of dance to choreograph dances that communicate meaning (ACADAM009)
Elaborations
- improvising new movement to communicate ideas in response to stimulus, for example, exploring the relationship of close proximity of dancers grouped together to represent overcrowded cities
- exploring stimulus or analysing other dances to devise a variety of movement possibilities, for example, different ways to jump and land, roll and stand or spiral down to the ground
- exploring character and mood by experimenting with elements of dance in a range of set, teacher-directed or student-devised dances
- Considering viewpoints – meanings and interpretations: For example – How is the movement of the body used to represent a story, character or idea? How does space, costume and/or multimedia communicate meaning in this dance?
- selecting, combining, arranging and refining movement using choreographic devices such as canon and unison
