Choreographic Devices
-
variation — consciously varying the movement, time, space or energy;
symmetry/asymmetry — organising the movement or space to create symmetrical or asymmetrical shapes and spaces;
contrast — altering the choreographic elements to create extremes, thus making contrasts such as high/low, big/little;
canon — (as in the Mexican Wave) repeating a specific movement in succession, usually with a group, for example, children running and leaping across the classroom, one after another;
Accumulation — building a sequence by adding movements one at a time. If numbers could represent movements, an accumulation could be expressed as 1, 1-2, 1-2-3, 1-2-3-4.
