What is a stimulus?
A stimulus is the original idea for a piece of choreography.
Write down what these 5 different types of stimulus mean?
Visual- a type of visual stimuli could be a photograph or video.
Tactile - a type of tactile stimuli would be something you can feel, something like a hedgehog or a cloud.
Auditory- a type of auditory stimuli would be a sound or piece of music.
Ideational- a type of ideational stimuli would be a theme and idea.
Kinaesthetic- a type of kinaesthetic stimuli would be a stimuli based on movement.
What is motif?
A series of repeated movements that represent stimulus.
What is a climax in a dance choreography?
The climax in a piece of dance is the highlight of the piece, the memorable part which stands out from the rest.
Write down as many ways as you can remember to develop a motif/choreographic devices and explain what they mean?
1) Variety with dynamics
2) Fragmentation
3)Embellishment
4)Repetition
5)Canon
6)Retro
7)Instrumentation
8)Tempo
9)Size
10)Levels
Compositional structures: this is a way of forming art and giving a dance piece structure.
The AB structure- binary (two part) is one of the more simplistic structures, like a verse and chorus of a song. A and B need a transition or a link.
Chance movements are chosen at random or randomly structured to create a movement sequence or a dance.
Narrative/Episodic structures is a choreographic structure that follows a specific story line. The structure helps the story unfold and each section is a further exposure of the idea of the story. The choreographer must consider the linking/transitions of each section.
ABACADAE - structure - Rondo is a further extension of AB. The idea that A keeps returning.
ABA structure - ternary (three part) so the beginning and end are same with a contrast in the middle. Like chorus verse chorus.
Theme and variation - A1, A2, A3, A4 varying a motif, not developing into something totally new and unseen before but instead varying/ changing the dynamics, mood, space, style of A.
