Improvisation: Another Way to Move and Dance
Morgan, Rachel
Strategies: A Journal for Physical and Sport Educators, v18 n2 p19-20 Nov-Dec 2004
Using improvisation in movement and dance classes is an ideal way to help students relate to how their bodies move. Students can learn confidence from the way they move by experimenting with unconventional and different methods. Improvisation, as such, is responding spontaneously to stimuli (music) in order to create a composition that allows for exploration of movement. Improvisation can be introduced in many ways, and is an easy learning tool that enables students to develop confidence. The exercises described in this paper provide just a few ideas for introducing ways to develop and implement movement. The goal is to encourage students to invent their own.
