* Music and dance analyzes

The digital space, and in particular social media platforms are a big part of the choreographic and performing dance field, in contemporary times. You are able to watch everything from simple recordings of performances from home, live streamed battles, live theater performances, music videos, tic-toc dances and as well bigger well-choreographed screen dance productions.

With the big amount of material that is out there, Its necessary to educate your students in how you can observe the content in different ways. As well as how you can view the content from different perspectives, also how you can create content with a consciousness of society norms and different realities. It's about giving the students the tools to be more precise in what they want to communicate and how to do it. It can be In the choice of music, costume, makeup, movements and so on. Another particular contemporary aspect is the digital editing tools and their potential to frame and emphasize exactly what you want the viewer to see or not to see.

DOING A ANALYSIS

Doing an analysis of a chosen dance video is a good way to process, learn, and be aware of the different layers of messages and what is communicated. The analysis can then further open up to different discussions with the students about norm creativity, trends and values. It also gives you as a teacher an opportunity to present some content with good artistic quality and discuss what quality in music choices and movement could be.
