Composition and Analysis
The development of the creative aspect of making dances
Composing original work
The study of this part of the course requires that students:
develop an understanding of movement principles and how to apply them in an effective manner in each dance
learn both how dance structures support diverse viewpoints, ideas and purposes, and how form, content and function interrelate
create original dances
at HL only, create some dances that are of contrasting compositional nature
analyse and examine their work, including through writing an analytical statement
demonstrate their understanding of how the compositional structure of their work supports particular viewpoints, ideas and purposes
demonstrate how form, content and function interrelate
discuss all of these elements in relation to works choreographed by others
at HL only, make connections across all aspects of their dance learning, noting how doing so may influence their compositional work
