What is this course about?
We will use both theoretical and practical aspects to explore and interpret different dance forms, investigating through movement, the dance elements of body awareness, space, time, energy and relationships, using personal experiences and imagination to express ideas. We will choreograph and share movement through both formal and informal presentation in both solo and group works. We will get to participate in a variety of different dance genres with the opportunity to experience lessons taught by leaders of those styles and with a particular focus on contemporary dance technique. There is a requirement to produce a major piece of your own choreography during the year that will focus on a current issue. We will be viewing live performances throughout the course from a range of different genres and styles. You will undertake research in New Zealand dance development and will learn to speak the language of dance in preparation for one written academic exam at the end of the year which covers critical analysis of a professional dance work.
What will I learn?

Further extend practical and theoretical knowledge of dance
Extend and refine performance skills in a range of genres and styles

What sorts of things will I do?
