Performance quality applied to the Dance

Characteristics of dance performance

The work is the product of many influences, and students need be able to dissect the work and discuss what characterises it.

Dance, as an artform is both an historical and contemporary study. It has a past and also a present.The work is the product of many influences, including its thematic considerations, socio-cultural context and use of the elements of dance. Dance is not created and performed in a vacuum; its thematic considerations, accompaniment and movement frequently have an association with the time and places of the real (or even unreal) world. The context might be social, historical, cultural, political, natural or spiritual.
