Literacy

In this subject students extend and apply their literacy capability by, for example:

  • documenting their creative process, including use of analysis and evaluation strategies
  • explaining and justifying their ideas and approaches as they experiment with, plan, edit, synthesise, and make aesthetic decisions about their dance practices
  • understanding and using language and terminology specific to dance in the process of creating, staging, presenting, responding to, and appraising dance
  • using movement to express, communicate, and interpret ideas and intent of the choreography
  • presenting ideas in a variety of forms, including written and multimodal forms with appropriate acknowledgment of sources
  • critically analysing and evaluating their own work and the work of others.
