Designed to accompany the film A Tale of Two, this 4-part series of video lessons introduces students to dance concepts and choreography through the lens of one of the film's core themes: Dance as Advocacy. A Tale of Two reflects choreographer and director Rena Butler's desire to use her artistic voice to be an advocate for change in Chicago and the world. Likewise, these video lessons take students step-by-step through the process of creating a dance that advocates for the changes they want to see in the world.
What happens when we shift our perspective to view dance as text and choreographers as authors? Students will learn how to "read" and "write" dance using elements of character development and storytelling alongside dance vocabulary and devices!
