Course Overview
Term 1
AS91588 (3.1) Produce a dance to realise a concept, 8 credits
In order to ensure sufficiency of evidence it is strongly recommended that the performance of the dance be at least 2 minutes long. The choreography may be for a solo, duet or group work. The choreography may be for live viewing or video dance. The teacher will provide a brief or stimuli and guidance to students in the process of developing a concept and making a dance.
Although the choreographer has overall artistic control s/he may use collaborative processes when working with dancers or making design decisions. Choreographers are encouraged to use movement material generated from improvisation and rehearsal with the dancers.
It is intended that the choreographers will not perform their own choreography so that they are able to see the results of their choreographic and design decisions. Design decisions should be made within the parameters of the relevant and available production technologies in the school. Choreographed work must be presented with the use of relevant and available production technologies, e.g. lighting, costume, sound, projection of images.
