Elements / Choreography / Styles / Purposes

Space, Time and Force

 Personal space – immediately around the dancers body  General space – larger area where movement will occur  Direction – forward, backward, or diagonal movement  Pathways – space created by movement (straight or curved) – as if the dancer drew a line with their body

 Levels – high, medium, and low  High – happy, elated, aggressive  Medium – normal, neutral  Low – depression, exhaustion  Shape – using the human body to make symbolic shapes (circle can be the sun, straight lines can be rigidity or formal)  Groups – sign of formality, leadership or lack of, family  Individually – strength, loneliness, uniqueness  Dancing as a group has a very different emotional impact than dancing individually

 Focus – where the dancers attempt to draw the audiences’ eyes while performing  Single focus – usually one dancer  Multi-focus – usually a group  Size – how much space a movement requires

 Rhythm – beat – similar to music – keeps the pace of the dance  Duration – how long it lasts  Accent – bold/strong emphasis in movement

 Energy used in the dance – specific types tend to be used together to contrast movements  Heavy/light  Sharp/smooth  Tense/relaxed  Bound/flowing  Force uses weight of dancers and effects of gravity

 AB Form - Two part composition (A theme/B theme)  ABA form – Three part – third is usually condensed or extended version of first section  Canon – parts are performed in succession, overlapping one another  Call and Response – often associated with African dance, jazz, and tap – one soloist/group performs & is responded to by second soloist/group

 Narrative – choreography follows a storyline  Theme & Variation – starts with a theme and then in later sections deviates slightly from the main theme  Rondo – three or more themes with one theme repeated (ABACADA)
