About This Lesson
My first draft of a Basic Composition Skills Scheme of Work for Dance. I am teaching this to my high ability 8th Grade Dance group. The scheme is particularly related to composition task; but uses a group (trio/quartet suggested) approach instead.The scheme explores motif and motif development through learning & developing extracts of 'Forest' by Robert Cohan; 'Revelations' by Alvin Ailey and 'A Christmas Carol' by Massimo Moricone. It incorporates contemporary; jazz and ballet technique as well as all three elements of performance; choreography & appreciation.
