Curriculum content descriptions
investigate performers’ and/or choreographers’ use of elements of dance, choreographic devices, genre- or style-specific techniques, conventions and/or production elements to communicate and/or challenge ideas, perspectives and/or meaning in dance across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts (AC9ADA10E01)
Elaborations
- investigating specific examples of how and why dance practitioners work collaboratively with communities, such as communities in Australia with cultural links to countries and/or regions in Asia
- investigating how and why choreographers work with communities to advocate for sustainable ways of living, social justice and recognition of people or events
- investigating why and how different traditions, styles and contexts affect the experience and interpretation of a dance work and taking this into account when choreographing and performing; for example, using Viewpoints to explore questions such as “What meaning is intended by the choreographer?”, “What cultural traditions are represented in this dance?” or “How does this work relate to my culture? To my life?”
- extending their movement vocabulary as they explore their own stylistic preferences and personal identity; for example, using analysis of dance styles from a range of cultures they identify with or dance styles from different times to inform their choreographic practice
- analysing use of elements of dance in different genres/styles, such as styles that feature in popular culture or from a country or region in Asia, as a stimulus for choreography or to inform performance of a learnt work
