Description of activity

Students perform a dance work demonstrating an application of technique and sustained performance quality to achieve an interpretation of a concept or intent.

Context

Students have an understanding of dance techniques and performance quality and they have performed a range of dances in a variety of styles. They have an understanding of safe dance practices.

Areas for Assessment

Outcomes

A student:

5.1.1 demonstrates an understanding of safe dance practice and appropriate dance technique with increasing skill and complexity in the performance of combinations, sequences and dances
5.1.2 demonstrates enhanced dance technique by manipulating aspects of the elements of dance
5.1.3 demonstrates an understanding and application of aspects of performance quality and interpretation through performance

Criteria for assessing learning

(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)

Students will be assessed on their ability to:

  • demonstrate sustained performance quality (line, projection, commitment and kinaesthetic awareness) to communicate concept/intent
  • demonstrate dance techniques (strength, flexibility, coordination, endurance and skill) to communicate concept/idea
  • control and manipulate space, time and dynamics
  • demonstrate safe dance practice.
