Arts Education 1
CP1.2
Create short dance phrases using the elements of dance including:
- actions (locomotor and non-locomotor)
- body (whole and parts)
- dynamics (different ways of moving)
- relationships (explore variety)
- space (awareness of pathways, levels, sizes, shapes).
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) | Compare how contrasting movements can express different ideas (e.g., quick and light vs. slow and strong). |
| (b) | Connect movements from dance explorations to create short dance phrases. |
| (c) | Use different kinds of locomotor (travelling) and non-locomotor (non-travelling) actions in own dance compositions (e.g., travel, jump, turn, twist, fall, bend, stretch, and pause). |
| (d) | Investigate and demonstrate locomotor actions using even and uneven rhythms such as walking, galloping, and running in time to an external beat, and apply to own dance phrases (e.g., How many ways can we travel from point A to point B matching our movements to the rhythm of the drum?). |
| (e) | Investigate what own body can do in dance by exploring a variety of whole body and body part movements (e.g., What happens when we freeze the lower half of the body and dance with the upper half? How many different ways can we move through the space with different body parts leading?). |
| (f) | Explore and identify, using own words, many different ways of executing movements (e.g., dynamic qualities such as quickly and softly) to express ideas. |
| (g) | Identify and demonstrate many different kinds of relationship possibilities such as near, far, above, below, in front, behind, sideways, under, over, inside, around, leading, and following in dance explorations and compositions. |
| (h) | Use various pathways on the floor when moving through space in dance explorations and compositions. |
| (i) | Use a variety of directions, levels, sizes, and shapes in personal and general space during dance explorations and compositions. |
| (j) | Identify own and peers' use of the elements in the dance-making process. |
