My second draft of a Ballet & Contemporary theory focussed scheme of work for AS Level Dance. The scheme explores Merce Cunningham, Martha Graham, Erick Hawkins/Release Technique and the origins of modern dance as well as touching upon a range of dance styles. This work will prepare students for studying A Level dance and taking the written paper in the summer. This is also relevant for the A2 paper. The PowerPoints link to each of the lessons and the videos are what I have used in class alongside the VHS Tapes/DVDs that I already have. Please comment, suggest ideas for improvement or point out anything I ought to include that I have missed. Thank you!

This presentation was created using information from the 'Bird Song Resource Pack' (NRCD) and 'The Dancing Times'. I usually get the students to create a very literal whole-class dance based on the starting points of 'Bird Song' while getting them to speak out loud as they perform using this presentation.

CandoCo Dance Company toured 'The Stepfather' in 2007/2008. Our students loved the piece and I made this resource to support their study of it. I believe the DVD of the piece will be available soon for those of you who missed out.

This is a choreography task I have used with my year 11 GCSE Dance cohort to create a performance piece with them. The poem is 'At 3am' by Wendy Cope and was used in the A level Dance as a solo choreography question a few years ago.
