FCL5022 - Producing a Community and Dance Performance

Objectives:

On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

1 Assess and analyse performance in the context of a particular movement and dance style.
2 Choreograph and coach the delivery of a short community movement and dance performance to music.
3 Design and plan a community movement and dance performance for promotional purposes.

Content:

Students will consider the suitability of a particular dance or movement style in the context of a community performance; this will include improvisation and participant-focussed planning. Progressing from the initial stage, students will choreograph and coach the development of a short piece through to performance. Students will engage with the whole range of success factors including; venue, costume, music, rehearsal, promotion, performance and feedback. Students will be aware of protocols relating to safeguarding, working with children and vulnerable adults.

Learning and Teaching Information:

Within each teaching block there will be a one-day intensive session that will introduce the two modules to be studied. Following this, students will undertake on-line distance learning via Moodle to structure the 12-week teaching block with appropriate milestones, formative tasks and final submission of assignments.

Additionally, students will be attending Lishi classes (usually on a weekly basis) where they may carry out learning tasks appropriate to that module, including observed teaching assignments and presentations.

Additional assessment information
For each assessment there will be a process of calibration of a sample of assignments between the VL and the programme manager. These will be based upon a clear marking matrix and criteria framework. Once calibration is achieved there will be a system of sampled second marking and moderation to assure quality and best practice
