Role Model Dancer

Objective

A personal story gives insight into how dance can influence one’s life and/or become one’s profession. The dance mediators bring an individual experience to life using their bodies.

Context

The subject matter here is drawn from stories and experiences of the dance mediators from their active time as dancers. They can show a short movement sequence from one of their favourite choreographies or bring props, costumes or programme booklets with them and describe how they are connected to the piece that they danced back in the day.

Questions

• What did you see?
• How do you picture the life of a professional dancer?
• What did you think of during the short demonstration?
• Can you give the dance style a name? Does it seem familiar or are the movements really new to you?
• What do you think is interesting or difficult about the life of a professional dancer?
