Let’s begin by looking at dance works from the Australian

context. These clips could help you to:

explore themes and symbols in choreography;

identify the elements of dance;

understand the source of inspiration for dance works;

appreciate the diversity of dance from a national perspective;

appreciate other cultural and social contexts in dance.

It is also useful to look at dance works from contexts

outside Australia. These clips could help you to:

start an e-journal about dance works you discover online with links to your favourite sites;

begin a research project which you could publish online;

analyse film techniques and use these in your own filmed work.
