Description This module aims to develop students' knowledge, skills, and understanding of Dance pedagogy drawing upon a variety of dance styles including other cultural and sub-cultural themes. It aims to generate an appreciation of Dance and Dance pedagogy through skill development and compositional creation which includes both acquisition of choreographic material but also the opportunity to experience the choreographic processes. It will use dance as a medium through which to explore movement, physical activity, performance, and cultural and social issues. It will draw upon theory such as Laban in order to shape and structure continuity and progression for dance lessons. It will also develop the skills required to compose as an individual and as part of a group and will develop pedagogic skills in preparation for teaching practice. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
