Questions to answer in your paper

1. In the dances you chose, please relate the class assignments given to you in class such as unison phrases, storytelling, manipulation, partner work, repetition etc... to the work performed on stage. If any, did the choreographer use the tasks the same way to construct the dance onstage as you did? If yes, how? Do they differ? Are they similar?

2. Do the dances relate to you personally? Do they make you think of ideas or themes in relation to you, others, the world, or anything else you are studying? If so please include examples from the dance in order to defend your argument.

3. What did you like or dislike about the dance?
