TERRY GOETZ Arts – Dance Level 3 - Dance Room Creating Dances: Using Curriculum & Choreographic Forms for Inspiration - Creating dances can be challenging for students and teachers! Choreography may feel intimidating, but it is important that students are given opportunities to synthesize what they have learned and create their own work. Terry will teach choreographic forms such as ABA, ABC, narrative, abstract, and recurring theme by providing clear structures as inspiration for choreography. We will generate movement that is connected to curriculum using choreographic prompts from language arts, science, social studies, and visual arts. Learn how choreographic devices can bring variety to a simple movement phrase. This workshop will offer effective and easy tools to make the creative process and product stress-free and meaningful! DAVID GRAN Arts – Film Level 4 - HS Film Lab 4005 Collaborative Projects for Art & Film - Collaborative projects provide students with authentic audiences for their work and help them make connections to their peers around the world based in their shared enthusiasm for art. The impact on student learning is twofold; first of all it allows the students to see a wide variety of technical and aesthetic responses to the same challenge and imagine new possibilities for their own future work. Having seen these responses made by a community of their peers, they may be empowered to explore a greater range of creative approaches in future project. This presentation will look at some collaborative projects that you can become involved in, and discuss connections between curricula to begin our own. We will also speak to film composer Rolf Becker about his symphony “Sketches of the City,” written with the intention of becoming a collaborative project for film students.
