Structure dances using choreographic devices and form

Elaborations

• selecting, combining, refining and sequencing movement using choreographic devices such as transitions, variation and contrast and choreographic forms such as binary, ternary and narrative (Skills: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking)
• analysing and evaluating the structural choices made in their dance by documenting their process in records such as journals, blogs, and video or audio recording, securing permission where appropriate (Skills: Literacy, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Capability, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
• reflecting on the creative process of choreography to clarify their choreographic intent and refine their dance (Skills: Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
• Considering viewpoints - forms and elements: For example - How have the elements of dance been used by the choreographer to express his/her stated intent? What choreographic devices were evident in this dance? What choreographic form was used by the choreographer?)
• responding to feedback by changing the order and pattern of dance movement, phrases or sequences, using choreographic devices (Skills: Numeracy, Critical and Creative Thinking, Personal and Social Capability)
