Were there elements that made the experience fun, meaningful, puzzling, satisfying, or not?

Other Question

Learning Goal: I’m working on a other writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Select a full-length ballet (1-2 hours in length) available online via streaming or digital service (YouTube, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, PBS, public library, etc).

Make observations as you watch the performance, take notes, and analyze what you are seeing.

Write a paper about your observations and impressions.

How to write the paper:

–WHO, WHAT, and WHERE? Make sure you state the title of the performance, the name of the choreographer(s), composer, company, or organization, where it took place, and when. Let the reader know what you chose to focus on and why. Make sure you use movement terms and look for ways to talk to a non-dance specialist (so don’t overuse technical terms).

–OVERALL STATEMENT: Make some overall observations about how the performance affected you and/or what most stood out to you. Were there things that were strong? Things you didn’t understand? Do you have an overall impression? Were there elements that made the experience fun, meaningful, puzzling, satisfying, or not? Try to understand and communicate WHY you felt and thought the way you did.

–SPECIFICS: Choose to describe in detail one of the following:

1) One specific section of the performance

2) Compare and Contrast two specific sections

3) Choose one element of dance you have been working on this quarter (such as technique, body alignment, rhythm, weight transfer, locomotion through space, syncopation, musicality, performance quality, control, use of space, virtuosity, or minimalism for example), and describe what you saw or didn’t see of that element throughout the performance.

–CONCLUSION: Include a short paragraph with concluding statements and an opinion about what you liked most (or least) about the performance and what you learned from this assignment.
