Combine elements of dance and improvise by making literal movements into abstract movements
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 otherâs movement ideas (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
analysing dances from a range of times and locations, and considering how a single realistic movement can be manipulated from representational to symbolic (Skills: Literacy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Intercultural Understanding)
using the elements of dance to develop new movements that still maintain the essence of the original movement (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
Considering viewpoints - meanings and interpretations: For example - What was the choreographerâs stated intent for this dance? What ideas did you think the dance expressed? (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking)
