First Session Questionnaire, group feedback

Practice as Research: First Session, Questionnaire and Discussion

Task 1,
As a group complete this questionnaire, you are allowed to discuss through your opinions and answers because this is an informal questionnaire. The aim is just to grasp an idea of what you think about Dance and Music within Performance. So therefore this is a semi structured feedback that will allow me to analyse your views and opinions on the relationships between Music and Dance within Performance.

Question 1, within performance which is more important to you, Your performance, Music or Dance?

If so Why?

Answer: We feel that without a strong performance from the dancer the music and choreography is irrelevant.

Question 2, Do you feel that combining art forms in choreography is a good development within contemporary dance today?

Answer: Yes, this is because the performance becomes more interesting to new audience members.

Question 3, Do you get that feeling to want to dance when you hear music, similar to hearing a song and then singing along?

If so Why?

Answer: Yes, Music influences how you feel.

Question 4, Do you think that different music genres can influence you to move in different ways?

If so Why?

Answer: This is because different styles of dance automatically have a style of music connected to it.

Question 5, Do you think that a musical score is like a dance choreography?

If so How?

Answer: They both complete a piece of work by following the instructions.

Question Six, Do you prefer Dances that are choreographed to music or not?

Answer: Yes

Question 7, Does and audience engage more within a Dance performance with or without music?

Answer: With music.
