About This Lesson
This is a simple activity that is good with beginning through advanced dancers. Requirements are easily modified to suit the level of dancers. I use this with my beginning dancers before giving them a true choreography assignment/project. This activity builds upon the knowledge of the 3 Elements of Dance (Time, Space, Energy). The concept is to have peers collaborate, utilize their name along with a movement and build a sequence using everyone' names/movements. The movement phrase can then be abstracted and modified. The goal is to teach a simple source for devising movement, building self-efficacy and building interest in the creative process. Included are the simple directions and the rubric with expectations for scoring.
