AQA GCSE Dance Knowledge Organisers

**GCSE Dance Professional Works Knowledge Organisers – All Works
**
These knowledge organisers provide a clear, structured overview of the six professional anthology works studied in GCSE Dance:

• A Linha Curva
• Artificial Things
• Emancipation of Expressionism
• Infra
• Shadows
• Within Her Eyes

Each organiser sets out the key facts and information for its work, including:

• Choreographic intent – the purpose and meaning behind the piece.
• Choreographic approach – how the choreographer developed movement material.
• Structure – how the dance is organised.
• Stimulus – the starting point for the choreography.
• Costume, lighting, aural setting, staging/set and props – production features that support meaning and audience interpretation.

The organisers are designed to help you:

• Learn and recall key knowledge quickly.
• Compare and contrast the different professional works.
• Revise efficiently for exam questions on Section C of the written paper.
• Use precise subject vocabulary when analysing and evaluating.

You can use them to:

• Test yourself by covering up sections.
• Create flashcards or quick quizzes.
• Practise writing short exam-style responses using the facts.
• Spot links between different works (e.g. use of set, choreographic intent).

These organisers act as a revision toolkit, condensing the essential knowledge for each work into one place so you can approach the exam with confidence.
