Assignment # 3 "Locked up Laura" video

The internet allows for many opportunities to enjoy art. If you can't make it to a show, you can still watch plenty of dance online. Experiencing many different types of performances only heightens one's artistic perspective. For this reason, the internet can be a gold mine.


Assignment objectives:

1)Become a critical participant of an artistic performance.
2)Use a survey to explore qualities of dance.
3)Express personal opinion and preference of dance.
4)Demonstrate knowledge of "A Dancer's Vocabulary".


Assignment # 3 Requirements

You tube may be blocked on your school laptop. If so, try to view the "Locked up Laura" video link at the bottom of this page from a different computer. If that is not possible, please, go to dancemedia.com, or dancechanneltv.com to find your own video selections.

Use the "Survey of live dance performance" link at the bottom of the page to survey "Locked up Laura" and one video of your own choice.
