Develop dance skills to communicate a personal and collective expression of emotion and narrative through a rich mix of vocal and physical language. Work towards sharing your skills through performance. Achievement on your course will be measured by whether you meet the following learning outcomes. At the start of the course you will have an opportunity to discuss these with your tutor and set your own personal targets, linked to the learning outcomes and future goals i.e. progression to an advanced-level course.
The tutor will set assessment activities involving student exchange of ideas and student self-assessment for all students. Use of other platforms such as Microsoft Stream and Moodle may be used for sharing useful web links, course materials and class news.
