  • • evaluating influences on their own performance or choreography; for example, using a journal to document interesting examples of how others use an element of dance or genre- or style-specific techniques, and considering how to use these ideas in their own choreography or performance
  • • reflecting on feedback from peers who have observed a workshop or a rehearsal and using ideas from the feedback/reflection to refine dance; for example, use of technical and expressive skills or a choreographic device
