Analyze, and discuss the evolution of dance through historical, cultural, and artistic developments. SLO #2. Students will use vocabulary learned from dance notation symbols to analyze the quality of movement. Dance notation symbols are mentioned below at the paragraph USE OF MOVEMENT VOCABULARY AND ANALYSIS. Please critique the video that I attached at the additional files.WRITING ASSIGNMENT:Now is your chance to see live dance performed in your local community. When possible, it is recommended that you attend your school’s semester dance concert, since this will inform you of dance opportunities in your community and help support the arts program at your school. Other possibilities would be to select a live dance concert at another community college or four-year institution in your area or concerts performed by local professional dance companies. It is strongly recommended that you get prior approval from your instructor before attending and critiquing the dance concert you have chosen. Please do not review a music concert that happens to have dance incorporated in it, or a competition dance show, or a high school performance. The goal of this assignment is to expose you to the world of live concert dance as art rather than commercial entertainment.Please respond to the performance in a formal dance critique.Display through your critique (650 to 750 words) your thorough understanding of the Language of Dance elements covered in the course, the historical context in which the dance was created, the theatrical elements incorporated into the production and your concluding analysis of the success of the piece as a concept and performance.In your critique, select two pieces from the concert and analyze them in a compare and contrast paper. Include specific observations from each dance to support your analysis. Do not go into analysis of each and every piece in the concert (as that will yield a superficial coverage); what you should provide is an in-depth breakdown of the two selected pieces. Feel free to bring a pen with you to take notes inside your program during short pauses between pieces.Don’t forget the details!Remember to include the title and date of the concert you attended, the titles of the pieces you are discussing, refer to the choreographer by last name (after introducing them with their full name), check your spelling and grammar, organize your paper into succinct and articulate paragraphs with topic sentences that refer directly to your thesis statement and support your analysis with concrete observations using Language of Dance terminology as appropriate.Pleas Note: You may find that reading through the Elements of Production lecture in Lesson 16 may help you make stronger observations of the theatrical elements of the dance performance. Also, a review of the Framework for Analysis in the Modern Dance lesson will also be extremely helpful in building your analysis for this assignment.SJCC’s Fall Dance Concert is Nov 15-17 at 8pm in the SJCC Theater. Other events you may attend for this assignment can be found on the document “Local Dance Events Fall 18.”Grading RubricPoints
