Dance

This Content Descriptor from Year 7 The Arts provides the specific knowledge and skills students should learn. Use it to plan lessons, create learning sequences, and design assessments that align with the Australian Curriculum v9.

Content Descriptor

investigate the diversity of dance choreographed and/or performed by First Nations Australians considering culturally responsive approaches to Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights

Elaborations

  • • exploring information about Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights that is available to help dance practitioners understand how to make ethical choices; for example, asking questions such as “Who created this dance or these movements?”
  • • using and annotating a map of First Nations Australian language groups to identify where First Nations Australian choreographers and/or performers are working and provide short descriptions of the dance they are choreographing and/or performing
  • • analysing how linear and non-linear narrative is used in specific examples of dance choreographed and/or performed by First Nations Australians to explore issues such as relationships, identity or empathy
  • • investigating an example of cultural appropriation where it has been found that First Nations Australian Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property rights have been denied and identifying how this situation could have been approached respectfully; for example, a situation where a choreographer has used movement vocabulary that carries cultural knowledge without permission from the knowledge holders
