Emancipation of Expressionism
Boy Blue Entertainment Kenrick H2O Sandy
You will be questioned on these works and your own work in a 1 hour 30 minute exam at the end of Year 11. This will be 40% of your Dance GCSE grade. In the exam you will be required to:
Describe, analyse, interpret and evaluate features of dance using appropriate terminology.
Compare and contrast different choreographers, dance works, styles and cultural influences.
Understand the relationship between choreography, performance and production including aural and physical settings, costume and dance for camera.
Understand the physical and aesthetic contexts of dance.
Tips to help you excel in the exam:
Revision: Find what works for you. Cue cards, posters of information with pictures, rewriting information…
Do your homework: it will help! Use your time wisely: in class and in the exam. Read each question twice and highlight key words in the question. Describing movement = RADS Rehearsal = use of feedback and application of feedback. Choreographic skills = how to choreograph: e.g. motif development Physical + Expressive = Performance skills, know the definitions Features of the production = Staging/set, lighting, properties (props), costume,
dancer, aural setting, dance for cameraWord Bank

Using the blank outline below, draw and describe the costume. Analyse how the costume is used effectively in Artificial Things.
REMEMBER to think about:
o Colouro Shapeo Textureo Style o Size o Material
Costume 1 Costume 2
Music Dance Relationships:
DIRECT CORRELATION – The dancers work closely with the complex rhythms of the music.
MUTUAL COEXISTENCE – The dancers work independently of it and contrast it.
REMEMBER to think about:
o Instrumentso Time signatureo Styleo Volume (crescendo/
diminuendos?)o Speed o Music/dance relationshipso Is there silence?o Can you hear the dancer’s
movements?o Is there voice?
Aural Setting 1
Aural Setting 2
Highlight if the aural setting:
Shows geographical context, historical context, social context, cultural context, context, is naturalistic, shows time of day, enhances narrative, enhances theme, highlights character/leit motif, highlights dancers, highlights group(s) of dancers, enhances the structure of the dance, enhances highlight/climax, enhances mood/atmosphere, complements other components, is symbolic, enhances the audible aspects of the dancer, adds humour, links to stimulus/starting point, enhances the action content, has a close relationship with the movement, links to genre, shows age.
LIGHTING
Highlight if the costume:
Shows historical context, social context, geographical context, supports narrative, supports theme/idea, suggests an era, defines a character, identifies main dancer, identifies groups of dancers, supports mood/atmosphere, sculpt body, enhances the flow of the action, defines gender, enhances the line of the body, complements other components i.e. aural setting, lighting, staging/set, suggests age of dancer, supports genre, incorporated into the dance action, links to stimulus.
Using the images below, label and describe the lighting. Analyse how the lighting is used effectively in Artificial Things.
