Creating Motifs
Begin with creating motifs using Actions, Space and Dynamics...
Actions - Travel, Transfer of Weight, Gesture, Floor Work, Use of Different Body Parts, Elevation, Stillness, Turn
Space - Levels, Stage Directions, Pathways, Spatial Patterns and Designs, Size of Movement
Choreographic Approaches
Show - A phrase to the whole or part of the cast. Dancers’ watch and either create a phrase exactly or create a version
Make - A phrase on a target dancer or dancers- others watch and copy or develop
Task - Set a choreographic task for dancers to complete, or pose a choreographic problem for dancers to solve.
