playful approaches to dance making
Video as inspiration for dance.
Watch a video. Participants identify dynamics (characters, spatial organization and rhythms) of the video and make a dance.
Art as inspiration for dance.
This is footage from a live show, but the same can be done in the studio. Select a piece of art, make dance inspired by it. It can be fun to add a game like element to this where the audience has to guess what piece of art is being used (like a game of dance charades).
