Scholarship Dance

Dance scholarship is an analysis of choreography and performance.  It is submitted as a portfolio at the start of term 4.  You must complete either choreographic internal standard 3.1 or 3.2 (Dance achievement standards 91588 or 91589) and performance achievement standards 91590, 91591, and/or 91592. to be eligible for this scholarship.

The three aspects that are assessed for Scholarship are:

• the choreography
• the reflection on the choreography
• the reflection on performance.

These all have equal weight. The performance excerpts are not assessed but do provide a context for the reflections on performance.

Written work must include reflections on choreographic processes and products (conceptualising, producing, and evaluating choreographic decisions – e.g. selecting a stimulus, developing a choreographic intention, choosing relevant technologies, deciding on movements and the use of dance elements to communicate the intention, choosing an appropriate style or styles, and choosing a method to produce movement)
