Question

How to write choreography script

Answer 1

Choreography basically is a dance form through which the performer / performers bring out certain themes. As a performance art it shares some of the features of a drama but is distinct from it as there will not be dialogues and props. We are using choreography as a pedagogical tool for facilitating language acquisition and also to help the learners develop deeper understanding of the poem. At the higher level we use it also for critical appreciation of the poem.

As a written discourse, the choreography script will have the following features:

identification of the main theme and stanza wise themes.identifying manifestation of the theme as instances / events taken from real lifeidentifying the characters involved in the events and their actionscreating the setting through the actions of the chorussequencing the actionsmaintaining proper layout of the scriptusing appropriate expressions for capturing the actions and movements of the characters and the chorus.
