Dance is the art of movement. If you look around, you will find dance everywhere: on the Internet, on televi-
sion and in film, in advertising, at the gym, at parties, at festivals, on the street and in the theatre. Dance
can have different goals: to celebrate something, to blow off steam, to express feelings or to make a pass at
someone. Theatre dance is dance with an artistic intention, when professional dancers perform for an au-
dience.

Here you can see a video in which you see different styles of dance over the years.

2. You know the difference between fact and fiction and you can explain how this can play a role in a per-

3. You can apply the characteristics in the in-depth assignment of your choise.

Theatre is a collaborative form of art that uses live performers, typically actors or actresses, to present the
experience of a real or imagined event before a live audience in a specific place, often a stage. The perfor-
mers may communicate this experience to the audience through combinations of gesture, speech, song,
music, and dance. Theatre can be purely entertaining, but often has another purpose as well.

She started her own dance company named "Rosas". She also started teaching dance, especially to young
people. She often uses minimalistic music to which she makes postmodern dance choreograpies. The
movements are often daily gestures, so no complicated ballet steps or lifts. In "Rosas danst Rosas" you see

gestures an also in the music you hear. The performance takes place in an empty school in Mechelen.

choreographer wants to tell you? What does she want to say with this dance?

b. This dance is made into a film. A film with a story without itwords. The filmmaker has filmed from multiple
angles, and moved along with the dancers. Because you the faces of the dancers up close, you can see the

music? Explain.

c. This dance is made for Minimalist music. Minimalist music consists of short motives that are repeated, each

following questions:

a. Write down the characteristics of this style.

b. Describe what you can see in terms of Space, Time, Strenght

SPACE TIME STRENGHT

* speed up / slow
* three layers (high, medium,
down
low)
* against gravity / with gravity
* stop
* line-up
* strong movement / weak
* repeat movement
* shapes of the body (angular
or round) * canon * lifts
* direction of movement * rhythm \

c. Describe the theatrical aspects (music, clothing, decor, theme, make-up and lighting) in this video.

d. Write down anything else that strikes you, such as location, special moves, special effects, etc.

STEP 2 Creating your dance, in a group

a. Read the assignment and the conditions for the dance to be made. The conditions are on the next page.

b. Think about when you are going to do what and make a plan for the coming lessons.

c. If you work in a group, make a division of tasks.

15
The conditions for your dance:

a. The dance is based on the chosen style.

b. The dance must also contain movements of your own.

c. The three dance elements and theatrical aspects are clearly present in the dance.

d. You perform the dance together and you make a recording of it.

e. The film lasts a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 minutes.

f. There is appropriate music.

g. It was filmed in a suitable location

Follow the following steps:

a. You start with brainstorming, what do you want to say with the dance? Which theatrical aspects can you
use for this? Do you want to wear certain clothes, do you need attributes? Where will you perform the dan-
ce? How can you apply characteristics from the style in your dance?
b. Now start ‘designing’ the dance. Use the three dance elements, so also consider exactly how the move-
ments should be performed. (high, low, weak, strong, slow, fast, etc.)
c. Rehearse, rehearse, rehearse!
d. Record the dance at an appropriate location.
e. Upload the video to Magister opdrachten or put a link to YouTube in opdrachten

paintings in which that happens and what do they use their bodies for?

4. Do you think the music fits the paintings or not? Explain.

5. This group performs in which they show the different tableaux one after the other. Watch a part of this film
(min. 2 minutes). Argue why this is theatre or not.

STEP 2 Creating the tableaux, together

Assignment B Create a cabaret act. (1 a 2 ll.)
Cabaret is een populaire vorm van amusement, die meestal bestaat uit de combinatie van verhalen vertellen,
grappen maken, theater, dans, zang en/of poëzie. Bij cabaret gaat het altijd om verhalen met veel humor. Maar
er zit meestal wel een serieuze ondertoon, rode draad of maatschappijkritische boodschap in.

Maar, hoe doe je dat? Hoe schrijf je een verhaal waar de mensen om kunnen lachen, of die de mensen aan
het nadenken zet.

STEP 1 Preliminary research, individually

1. Bekijk de volgende vormen van cabaret en schrijf bij ieder fragment wat volgens jou belangrijke
kenmerken van een goede tekst zijn.

Javier Guzman

Jochem Meyer

Hans Teeuwen

2. Analyseer nu dit fragment op de volgende aspecten:

a. Wat is het verhaal wat verteld wordt, in één zin samengevat?

b. Hoe wordt dat verhaal verteld en opgebouwd?

c. Wat doet de cabaretier met zijn stem, zijn lichaam?

d. Gebruikt hij/zij zelfspot?

3. Beschrijf welke elementen maken dat jij om cabaret kunt lachen. Denk daarbij aan woorden als
overdrijving, nonsens, harde humor, flauw, woordgrappen etc. etc.

4.

STEP 2 A cabaret act, individually or together

a. Read the assignment and the conditions for the painting to be made. The conditions are on the next page.

b. Think about when you are going to do what and make a plan for the coming lessons.

c. If you work in a group, make a division of tasks.

23
The conditions for the act:
a. De sketch duurt 1 a 2 minuten
b. De sketch wordt opgenomen op film in een passende vormgeving of locatie

Follow the following steps:

I. Kies een onderwerp. Waar verbaas je je over? Waar erger je je aan? Kies iets uit de maatschappij bij-
voorbeeld de politiek, iets uit het schoolleven of iets uit je familiekring. Ook kleine verhalen over je
oma, kunnen hele waardevolle onderwerpen zijn.
II. Maak een associatieketting. Schrijf ze snel mogelijk 10 woorden op waar jouw onderwerp je aan doet
denken. Zo breed mogelijk. Schrijf bij alle 10 woorden nog 3 associatiewoorden op.
III. Schrijf nu een minuut lang aan je verhaal, zonder te stoppen met schrijven. Herhaak dit evt een paar
keer.
IV. Maak op basis van deze schrijfoefeningen een verhaal van een a twee minuten. Je kunt nog meer ca-
baretiers of stand-up comedians bekijken om inspiratie op te doen. Cabaret is het fijnst als iemand
zichzelf ook een beetje op de hak durft te nemen. Kijk eens of je wat zelfspot kunt toevoegen.
V. Studeer de sketch in, denk aan stemgebruik, je lichaam en de vormgeving. Bedenk ook wat het be-
langrijkste is wat je wilt vertellen en werk daarnaar toe.
VI. Neem de sketch op en upload het naar opdrachten of zet daar een link naar YouTube
