Our Performance Guides can be used to prepare your classes for
a visit to the theatre to see TILT or CCDT. Students will take more of an
interest in the performance if they are aware of the type of dance that is
being performed, and are prepared for what they will see.
You might emphasize to your students that they are not “required” to like every dance they see. A major step towards “dance literacy” – or any arts literacy and appreciation – is being able to recapture and describe what was seen, and give reasons for likes and dislikes. Each Performance Guide contains a short description of each dance piece that you will see, bios of choreographers, a series of exercises taken from the curriculum that relate to the piece, as well as more in-depth discussion topics on subjects that are raised by the dances. Three guides are currently available for download in universal "pdf" format: SLEPT AWAY (2008)
WINTERSONG (2007)
TEASING GRAVITY (2008)
FULL TILT (2005/6) |
