Write down all ideas, no matter how wild. The more ideas, the better!
Be creative and spontaneous. There are no wrong answers and lots of possible solutions.
Write down what the theme means to you – any words that come to your head. Can you think of a time that something happened to you that relates to the theme? What about something that you read about or heard? You can write anything – a story, a play, or a poem.
Think about what objects relate to the theme. How can lighting and location help you interpret the theme? What story are you trying to tell?
What materials do you see that can help you create a work of art? Would you like to make it flat or 3-dimensional? Brainstorm materials you could use.

What songs can you think of that relate to the theme? Are there any props you could use or a location where you can film your dance that relate to the theme?
What sounds can you think of that convey the theme? What feelings are you trying to share?
