Yr 10 Dance

Site Specific Dance: This activity requires students to perform in a choreographed group dance. The dance will be a site-specific work that uses, interprets, and responds to a chosen location. Students will use the dance elements and conventions to choreograph movement in response to a chosen site around the school.

Sculpture Dance: Students will create a dance based on a chosen sculpture focusing on the creating group sculptures displaying balance, counter balance and lifts. Students will interpret the sculpture for their movements looking closely at the history, mood and theme of the piece they choose to work with.
