Format of the assessment
Evidence is to be presented as a portfolio consisting of:
- recordings of the candidate's own choreography and performance
- written and visual evidence submitted as a PDF file.
The recordings
- The recordings will be produced as two mp4 files.
- One file will be a recording of a 2- to 5-minute dance, choreographed by the candidate. This choreography must be a complete work. The choreography may be a solo, duet, or group dance, and may be work that has been assessed for Level 3 Dance achievement standards 91588 or 91589 (provided this choreography was not collaborative).
- The other file should contain a further total of 2–5 minutes of dance performance: one complete dance, or excerpts from one or more dances and/or dance genres, performed by the candidate. The performance(s) may be a solo, duet, or group dance, and may be performance work that has been assessed for Level 3 Dance achievement standards 91590, 91591, and/or 91592.
- The dance performances should be recorded as one static camera long shot, front view, with minimal editing.
Written and visual evidence
The written and visual evidence:
- must be submitted as a PDF file
- will be limited to the equivalent of 18 single-sided A4 pages, inclusive of the introduction and contents pages (additional pages will not be assessed) with font size set at the rough equivalent of Arial 12
- will consist of written reflection, and may include sketches, photographs, diagrams, etc.
- will include an introductory page and a contents page, listing headings, and page numbers
- must include reflections on choreographic processes and products (conceptualising, producing, and evaluating choreographic decisions – e.g. selecting a stimulus, developing a choreographic intention, choosing relevant technologies, deciding on movements and the use of dance elements to communicate the intention, choosing an appropriate style or styles, and choosing a method to produce movement)
- must include reflections on performance processes and products (e.g. learning, practising, interpreting, refining movements, applying expressive qualities, and evaluating and working with aspects of technology that contribute to a performance).
Assessment
The three aspects that are assessed for Scholarship are:
- the choreography
- the reflection on the choreography
- the reflection on performance.
These all have equal weighting. The performance excerpts are not assessed but do provide a context for the reflections on performance.
Submission and authenticity requirements
Submission instructions and authenticity requirements for NZ Scholarship Dance will be available to schools in Term 3.
The non-recorded materials (written and visual) may be submitted as in previous years or as a digital file.
