Knowledge and understanding Dance Dance involves using the human body to express ideas, considering particular audiences and particular purposes, through dance elements in movement phrases. Gross motor movements, including locomotor and non-locomotor, are used to create actions for movement phrases • e.g. travelling with hops, runs and slides; staying on the spot using whole-body stretches, curls and twists. Directions, levels, shapes and pathways are used to move in space within movement phrases • e.g. using forwards direction, a low level on the ground, curved shapes and a straight pathway to move within a space. Fast and slow movements are used to change timing in movement phrases • e.g. using fast movements in a traditional Aboriginal dance to express the quick actions of an animal. Percussive and sustained movement qualities are used to change energy in movement phrases • e.g. representing a robot by stop-and-start energy changes in movement. Structuring devices, including repetition and narrative forms, are used to organise movement phrases • e.g. using a nursery rhyme to structure a dance story. Drama Drama involves using dramatic elements and conventions to express ideas, considering particular audiences and particular purposes, through dramatic action based on real or imagined events. Role can be established using movement, voice, performance space, cues and turn-taking • e.g. pretending to be someone else within a given or original story. Purpose and context are used to shape roles, language, place and space to express ideas • e.g. pretending to be a ringmaster within a circus scene. Dramatic action is structured by being in role and building storydramas • e.g. developing a beach story with different characters, such as surfers, lifeguards, swimmers, joggers and sharks. Media Media involves constructing meaning by using media languages and technologies to express representations, considering particular audiences and particular purposes. Still and moving images, sounds and words are used in media texts • e.g. using still and moving images, sounds and words in a television advertisement. Media techniques and practices, including crop, print, record/capture and sequence images, sounds and words, are • used to create media texts e.g. cropping a digital image to create a close-up from a long shot. Representations in media texts can be either real or imagined, and are created for particular audiences and purposes • e.g. using animal characters in sketches and drawings for a on road safety. children’s film
