1 x 3-hour on-campus seminar per week
Students will on average spend 150-hours over the teaching period undertaking the teaching, learning and assessment activities for this unit.
This will include educator guided online learning activities within the unit site.
Students will study how dance functions in screen-based forms of expression, such as in film and television and the pop-culture realm of dance in music video. With a critical eye to prevailing issues, aesthetic tropes and the ways dance has been employed 'in-frame', choreographic workshops will enable students to devise movement in groups, experiment with framing this movement with a camera, and finally, create their own dance for screen.
