A range of Stimulus opportunities to participate in structured dances as individuals and pairs, small groups and large groups.
A range of tasks from directed to open-ended
Ownership of their ideas and outcomes.
A range of accompaniment Different Styles and types of dance
  • Use compositional devices (e.g., climax, contrast, repetition)
  • Shape and structure material:
  • Link actions, sequences, sections;
  • Recognise movement patterns;
  • Order actions and sequences;
  • Give form to the material (beginning, middle and end) and adding or taking away certain action, space, dynamics and relationships.
Choreographic Principles

  • Motif and Development
  • Repetition
  • Contrast
  • Highlights
  • Relationships
Motif development
Beginning and endings 
  • Whether all the dancers will be onstage at the start and finish.
  • Exits and entrances.
  • Where in the space the dancers will start and finish?
  • Starting and finishing positions.
Every dance should have a
Beginning-middle-end

The dance forms are
  • Binary: is a dance in two parts where the second section provides contrast but is linked by theme.
  • Ternary: is a dance in three sections with the middle section providing contrast
  • Narrative: is where a storyline unfolds a section at a time.
IMPORTANT: The end of the dance is what will stay in peoples mind.
Forming provides the internal logic that holds a piece together and makes it work.
For our purpose, forming has a dual function. It is both
  1. The process of developing material, and
  2. The process of giving it a structure
Transitions
The matter of transition is an important aspect of creating choreography that flows with its own inner kinaesthetic logic.
A transition between two steps can be a
  • tiny step
  • simple as a change of direction or focus
  • or it may be a movement phrase itself.
Sequencing
For example, 1-2-3, 3-2-1, 2-1-3, 2-3-1, 1-3-2
  • AB form: is a theme and a contrasting theme, going from A to B need some transition.
  • ABA form: Using the same material in the previous assignment. Take A and shorten it, do B as before then find a transition back into A.
  • Rondo: has a chorus section that remains the same with each section between being different to the one before. It is a further extension of the AB form, ABACADA.
  • Rondo has a basic theme A that keeps returning in a pure or modified form.
  • Narrative: is where a storyline unfolds a section at a time (for example L’enfant du sortilege, from Jiri Kylian)

Basically, it is the same step repeated, it works well in dance because it:
Recreates the lost movement
Recreates the lost movement
Recreates the lost movement
Example 
Row, row, row, your boat
Canons
  1. Strict
    1. Reverting
      1. Overlapping
      2. Nonoverlapping

Reverting Canon
Each person does the entire phrase from beginning to end
  • Reverting-Overlapping
Dancer A : 1  2  3
Dancer B :      1  2  3
Dancer C :          1   2   3
  • Reverting-nonoverlapping
Dancer A : 1  2  3
Dancer B :              1  2  3
Dancer C:                            1   2   3
  • Reverting-nonoverlapping
