Assignment

Pick any dance movie, YouTube clip, music video, commercial, etc. etc. and write a paper following the guidelines given below.

Then, pick 2-3 moments from each dance that really stood out in your memory. Usually they will be pivotal moments in each dance that created the overall effect of the dance to you as a viewer. Answer the following questions to describe these moments, to show how these dance movements affected your opinion of the dance.

Question I. What did you see? Just describe the movement or movement phrase as you would to a friend who had not seen the dance, without judging or assessing what you saw. For example, "The dancers spun around the stage with a frenetic energy stopping only once their bodies crashed to the ground and slid to a stop."

Question II. What effect did this movement have? Talk about the physical/emotional/or mental effect this dance movement or phrase created on the stage or screen in the dance, still without judging the dance, merely interpreting the movement you saw. Example: "This movement created the image of a group of people in a chaotic state of urgency, that kept me on the edge of my seat with anticipation the whole evening."

Question III. How did you interpret this dance or dance phrase? Example: "These moments in the dance caused me to interpret it as an example of the frenetic busy working lifestyle in which we all feel driven to survive."

Question IV. Repeat this process 2-3 times for each dance. Then you will have recreated for the reader, your experience of this dance and the reader will understand how and why you came to your conclusions and opinions. Use the language of space, time, and energy that we have learned in this class to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each piece. You may also choose to talk about them in regards to: use of dynamics, structure, compositional tools, movement vocabulary, technique, production elements (costumes, lighting), theme, or any other performance element that stood out about this piece.
