Small Group Work
Working in small groups gives students a foundation to analyze basic structural elements of choreography. Group members share their ideas while supporting and building on the ideas of others. Students learn collaboration skills through the process of brainstorming, planning and physicalizing their ideas to create movement phrases in small groups that are woven together as a whole class choreography.
