Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The following themes will be covered 
  • Precision in the execution of danced and expressive movements (expressive performance dimension) 
  • (Self-)observation and analysis of the expressive and technical aspects of a performance 
  • Precise and appropriate formulation (for oneself and then for others) of an area for improvement relating to the dimensions of the performance (didactic and pedagogical aspect) 
  • Experimenting with different strategies for exploring movement, its constraints, limits and possibilities, with a view to stabilising new expressive movements (morphokinesis) and expanding the body's vocabulary (choreographer, stage director aspect). 
  • Opening up to the importance of musical forms, or the lack of them, as a support for expressive activities. 
Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

  • Transform a movement or dance phrase into a personalised version while respecting the initial structure and/or the coherence of a joint performance (if in a group) to the point of discovering and experimenting with the choreographic process (1.2); 
  • Demonstrate correct technique in different forms of dance and expressive activities (1.2; 4.3). 
  • Analyse a performance in terms of the expressive dimension of body language (1.1, 1.2) 
  • Analyse a peer student's performance and suggest ways of improving (1.1, 1.2.)
