(1) compose a two-paragraph original post, (2) write a "reflection" to your own original post about this aesthetic experience.
1. Carefully view the excerpts of the Swan Lake and Night Journey dance selections (in Required Online Exploration).
2. Find and read TWO research sources (BEYOND your text book - try google scholar or the SPC Library) concerning the two selections and be prepared to integrate them in your essay. Be sure to cite these research sources too.
3. Go to the Chapter 8 Dance Evaluation Discussion forum, and write a new thread using the following instructions:
In the FIRST paragraph (at least 100 words):
Using at least three terms from the Dance Elements & Vocabulary Guide, identify the dance elements in the Swan Lake or Night Journey excerpts.
Identify Swan Lake or Night Journey as either Classical Ballet or Modern Dance.
Then, using at least three terms from the Dance Elements & Vocabulary Guide, evaluate the choreography. Is this a good example of this type of art? Is it well presented? What are its points of value?
In the SECOND paragraph (at least 100 words)
Compare and contrast the styles of Classical ballet and Modern dance.
Identify how both of these dance compositions (Swan Lake and Night Journey) are “interdisciplinary” (i.e. are related to one or more of the disciplines in humanities we have studied so far).
