DANCE LITERACY TOOLKIT 1: VIEWING DANCE–Vocabularies for Critiquing (Advanced level)

$179.00

The advanced level of Viewing Dance emphasizes what is most important about the artistic process, “responding.” Consistent use is shown to change the way viewers approach dance masterworks.  Toolkit 1’s materials provide the tangible, analytical skills that build confidence in critiquing. Dance literacy is fast-tracked through the use of these artistically-driven tools: Anchor charts instill the analytical process and solidify core concepts while the creative catalysts instill the process and vocabularies for critique.  Viewing Dance’s Ideabook offers the insights to maximize astute viewing experiences for learners. This MS and HS kit spans beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels with enough catalysts to build new skills year after year. See the materials in the slide-show below.
