Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Move: accurate placement enables meaning to be projected effectively.
  2. Think: finding ways to represent non-human activity requires imagination.
  3. Feel: offering suggestions and opinions involves self-belief.
  4. Connect: cooperation is required when creating or performing choreography.

Keywords

  • Placement - the accurate positioning of the body

  • Projection - the effective communication of the dance idea

  • Expressive - conveying a thought, feeling or idea

Common misconception

Projection means that you have to look up.

Projection is effectively communicating a dance idea. This often involves looking outwards towards an audience but would not be appropriate if communicating a concept such a secrecy, nervousness or reluctance.
