What are the three stages involved in creating a dance movement?

The three stages involved are: 1) Exploration, 2) Determining the movement pattern, and 3) Arranging the movement patterns into varied movements.

What does the 'exploration' stage involve?

The 'exploration' stage involves thinking, imagining, feeling, and responding. You can explore new movements anywhere, such as in your room or by watching other dance videos.

How can different types of stimuli help in the exploration stage?

You can use various stimuli for exploration: visual stimuli like watching dance videos, auditory stimuli like listening to music, or observing movements from daily life and your environment.

Can you give an example of how to explore movements from daily life?

An example is observing the movement of a chicken if you are creating a dance inspired by chickens, ensuring the movements resemble those of a chicken rather than another animal.

What is meant by 'determining the movement pattern'?

Determining the movement pattern involves selecting and deciding on specific patterns of movement that will be used in the dance. For example, you can combine multiple movements to create a sequence.

What is the concept of 'linking movements' in dance choreography?

Linking movements refers to connecting different movement patterns together using transition movements or connecting steps. This is similar to how words are connected by conjunctions in language.
