Through these exercises, students observe a concept, explore it by working independently and watching others, and reflect on it with others. They then create and present a choreographic work based on their explorations and reflections. The choreography is discussed in a final group reflection and personal journal entries in which students can document their findings for future use. The interviews and arts connections will expand students' vision and appreciation of artistic commonalities that exist among dance, music, theater, visual arts, and literary arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cb\u003emusic CD\u003c\/b\u003e, which is bound into the book, contains original compositions that enrich dance exercises and movement exploration assignments.
