Choreographers Toolbox
..... By Jennifer Irons
OVERVIEW
This worksheet will enable you to create and develop movement into a dance phrase using several choreographic tools.
Choose an object, anything you like, and start to think about the object using the 5 senses. How does it feel? Smell? Sound? Move? Etc. Using these prompts, create a phrase of movement.
PLAY – Try different ways of moving, using different body parts and in different directions.
CHOOSE – Choose the one movement that you like the most.
REFINE – Make the movement clear and repeatable.
Start to put the movements together one after the other so you create a phrase. Try to make at least six movements. There’s no limit to how much you can make. There’s no such thing as wrong!
Using the choreographic tools below, go through your movement phrase and change at least one movement for each of the tools. Refine it so it’s clear and repeatable.
Quality – How you move
Levels – Low, medium, high
Speed – Fast, slow, super slow mo, stillness
Direction – Forwards, backwards, up, down, diagonal
Contrast – Sharp/soft, high/low, quick/slow
