  • FINAL Ausdance National Education Committee Submission to ACARA
    Ausdance National Education Committee ACARA dance curriculum review July 2021 Key feedback from the *Ausdance National Education Committee This submission responds to the different elements of the curriculum consultation: • Introductory elements – the rationale, aims, organisation of the learning area, key connections and key considerations. • Curriculum elements – the level descriptions, achievement standards, content descriptions and content elaborations. The comments below are provided mainly with reference to the F–6 curriculum, the identified focus of the current review. In the introduction to the Learning Area under ‘The Australian Curriculum: The Arts comprises five subjects’ there is a statement: ‘Dance practice integrates choreography, performance, and appreciation of and responses to dance and dance making’ (p.1). The last part of this sentence appears repetitive and seems at odds with the integration and overlay of making and responding in all of the components (choreography, performance, appreciation). Suggestion: ‘Dance practice integrates choreography, performance and appreciation within dance making and responding’. The proposed revised Rationale and Aims for The Arts are much improved (p.2). Organisation of the learning area with Content structure, Band level descriptions, Achievement standards, Content descriptions and Content Elaborations is clear. Core Concepts (p.5) The proposed Core Concepts ‘learning by making and responding; learning as artist and as audience’, are located as ‘the big ideas, understandings, skills and processes that are central to The Arts curriculum’. These Core Concepts are crucial, as teachers have been working with ‘making and responding’ as strands since the introduction of the arts curriculum. Therefore, these, as well as any explanatory diagram, need to be foregrounded prior to the former four ‘threads’ now proposed as new strands (p.4).

Before one can summarise the subject area of Dance it is essential to recognise that Dance is a diverse and often a multi disciplinary art form that embraces a range of subsidiary disciplines (e.g. performance, choreography, teaching, scenography, research, writing, and criticism). Although possible, few of these areas are studied individually with most being taught as part of a broad spectrum of classes in a multi-disciplinary environment. Dance requires a knowledge and understanding of all the arts it embraces. Dance education in Europe is provided by a range of institutions including: universities, specialist academies and colleges of higher or further education. The manifold approaches to dance education mirror the variety of the art form. The variety in teaching of Dance runs from the traditional vocational model with its emphasis on intensive practical training, tutor directed learning, high teacher and student contact, an emphasis on the acquisition of technical skills to the academic tradition that implies student led study, tutor/student contact and with an emphasis on individual self- expression and creativity (e.g.

Meenan Master of Fine Arts Department of Dance June 2013 Title: Exploring the Modern Dance Technique Class as a Somatic Practice This movement project investigates principles of modern dance technique and pedagogical practices which emphasize the inherently somatic nature of dance. Through designing, implementing, and evaluating an experimental modern dance technique course, my research considers: how dance can be inherently somatic, how teaching dance as a somatic practice differs from authoritarian dance pedagogy, and how implementing a somatic teaching philosophy affected my teaching strategies and practices. The catalyst for this project emanates from the personal belief that dance is somatic. The overarching aim of the experimental course was to promote deeper embodiment and ownership of modern dance experiences.
