Demonstrate understanding of a range of choreographic processes
This standard asks you to understand how choreographers make dances—the decisions and methods they use from start to finish. You need to explore and explain a range of different choreographic processes (like picking a stimulus, developing movement ideas, and structuring steps), and show you understand why choreographers choose certain processes for different situations. You don't need to create a full dance yourself; you're focused on understanding the thinking and techniques behind choreography.
You can describe several choreographic processes, explain the basic steps involved in making a dance, and show you've tried out some of these processes in practical work.
You understand the advantages and disadvantages of different choreographic processes, carefully choose which ones to use for specific purposes, and can evaluate how well different processes actually work to create dance.
You explain why you selected specific choreographic processes for particular tasks, understand the deeper purposes behind choosing one process over another, and critically analyse how different processes create particular effects in dance-making.
