Description
The “Beginning-Middle-Ending” poster is a 13” x 19” b&w two-sided poster printed on heavy cardstock. Use this level of B-M-E to remind intermediates and advanced students of the details involved in crafting each dance’s development from start to finish. A unified B-M-E is the essential underpinning of all choreographic forms and structures and is universal to other forms of expression such as poetry and music. Use both sides of this poster to emphasize the connection of each part of a dance in conveying the whole intent of the dance and its motivating idea. Side one explains the concept and how it shapes all types of dance to coherently organize the piece from start to finish. Side two contains vital teaching prompts that inculcate in students the habit of thoughtfully developing their intent to consistently move the intent forward. Teachers say the depth of the varied teacher prompts are priceless and multi-faceted in a way that increases both skills and the conceptual understanding of the craft of choreography.
