Curriculum content descriptions
investigate ways that dance works, performers and/or choreographers across cultures, times, places and/or other contexts use the elements of dance, choreographic devices and/or production elements to communicate ideas, perspectives and/or meaning (AC9ADA8E01)
Elaborations
- analysing dances from a range of times and locations, such as dances from times they are studying in History or dance from a country or region in Asia, and considering how a single realistic movement can be manipulated from representational to symbolic (literal to abstract)
- investigating the development of dance styles in different artistic, social, environmental, historical or cultural contexts; for example, identifying the distinguishing stylistic features of dances in a range of styles or from a range of times or places, and considering how these can inform their choreography
- using Viewpoints to explore questions such as “What was the choreographer’s intention for this dance?”, “What ideas did you think the dance expressed?”
- comparing use of one or more elements of dance and/or choreographic devices such as repetition in dances from a range of genres/styles, cultures, times and/or places; for example, dances from a range of cultures or countries in Asia
- investigating how digital tools and use of immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR) are influencing choreography, performance or use of production elements
