Welcome to Episode 1 of this Arts Education Series
Featuring The Little Mermaid and the creatures of the sea

Based on the California Arts Standards for Dance from the California Department of Education

We are here to teach you about the elements that inspire choreography!
Standard 1: Generate and Conceptualize Artistic Ideas
Through exploration, choreographers use a variety of sources as inspiration and transform concepts and ideas into movement for artistic expression.

Questions to ask: Where do choreographers get ideas for dances? How did the movements of the underwater creatures inspire the movements of the dancers? What movements can you create based on how different animals move? Explore how music/sound, text, objects, images, notation, observed dance, and experiences can serve as inspiration for choreography.
