We then look at each Artistic Director, with some basic knowledge of their backgrounds, training and influences, and then discuss their personal developments to the company.

Akram Khan - Zero Degrees Section 1 Analysis ICDSIB Independent Contemporary Dance

(0)
Lesson PowerPoint including video links, starter questions, tasks and analysis grids (blank and completed) for Section 1 of Zero Degrees. The accompanying worksheet is used to help students take relevant notes and saves time. This lesson continues on from Intro to Akram Khan but can be used without. I take no credit for the two written resources (collaboration, and interview transcript) but they are used for the lesson. I used the interview transcript when discussing dummies as a reading task, then the collaborative process resource is directly used in the PowerPoint for a reading comprehension task.
