What you’ll learn
I can use a variety of choreographic relationships.
Key learning points
- Move: choreographic relationships include unison, canon, mirroring and question and answer.
- Move: a motif can be varied or developed by competently changing elements.
- Think: gaining feedback from others supports our ability to evaluate effectively.
- Feel: relying on the feedback of others requires integrity.
- Connect: performing in a variety of relationships involves all group members to cooperate.
Words to know
- motif
- a pattern of actions seen more than once in a dance
- relationships
- how actions and motifs are arranged relative to others
- variation/development
- ways a motif can be changed
Common mistakes
Motif variation and motif development are the same thing.
Variation and development are both methods of motif manipulation. However, during variation, the action content remains the same but how it is presented can be changed. Whereas, development involves significant alteration to the actions themselves.
For parents, carers and teachers
- If you do not feel confident with the distinction between variation and development you may wish to simply reference 'manipulating' the motif as this term covers both.
