Why this why now
This unit offers scope for pupils to draw upon prior learning and combine the performative, choreographic and stylistic features to produce a range of effects and be able to accurately identify the strengths and weaknesses in their own work and that of others. Pupils will be able to make recommendations for improvement. The abstract nature of the work encourages pupils to air original ideas building confidence and skills in performing, choreographing and appreciating dance and how it allies or responds to other artforms to deepen their understanding for further study and/or later life.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils draw upon a range of stimuli and respond with a range of methods to translate the concept into movement.
- Pupils have a solid foundation of action-space-dynamics-relationships and their constituent features being able to identify their absence.
- Pupils combine choreographic and performative concepts to achieve artistic aims.
- Pupils review their own work (or that of others) using the correct terminology, insight and offer a range of methods to further develop an idea.
- Pupils apply an understanding of form to their dances, utilising motif development effectively.
