Standard 3: Responding
to and Analyzing Works of Art
3. Students will express through written and
oral language their understanding, interpretation, and evaluation
of dances they see, do, and read about. Students will acquire the
critical vocabulary to talk and write about a variety of dance forms.
In addition to the General Education performance
indicators, students:
- express to others theories about the nature
of dance and the underlying assumptions that people have about
dance (a)
- describe and analyze similarities and differences
between individual performances, and between forms and styles
of dance, past and present (b)
- describe and defend an explanation of why
people dance, based on experience in dance, witnessing others,
and studying contexts (c).
This is evident, for example, when students:
- compare the positions of two different critics
of dance
- develop a personal resource file for information
about dance, dance theory etc.
- develop and give multi-media presentation
that explain theories of dance to younger students
- observe a variety of professional dance
company performances or rehearsals and develop a matrix that categorizes
similarities and differences along styles of dance
- research and present a paper defending assumptions
and values regarding the importance of dance in a specific culture
- write a detailed description of the student's
involvement and commitment to dance and dance training for a college
application.
