learning agreement

DESCRIPTION:

The main aim of this project is to fall in love with ballet and have a passion for this dance genre. Through the screening of various different ballets I will learn not only what makes a great ballet but why it’s such a unique genre and how it has evolved through the years. The workshops will give me the knowledge to create ballet costumes and through my own research I will have a greater understanding of the genre. I have always had a keen interest in dance and ballet has been a genre that I have always been interested in and enjoy watching. I chose to do this project because I want to learn how to create ballet costumes and learn more about ballet so that in the future I can work on ballet performances.

Through the workshops during this project I will learn the techniques needed to create the ballet tutu, bodice, sleeve samples and decoration samples. Using books and the internet I will research into ballet performances and influential people in ballet. With this information I will put it into a sketchbook which will help give me a clear understanding about the world of ballet. From the three performances of Swan Lake watched during this project I will also write an essay looking at these three versions.

I have chosen to undertake this work so that I can learn the techniques needed to create male and female ballet costumes therefore giving me more insight into ballet and preparing me for the future if I get into the world of ballet.  I also want to expand my knowledge of ballet performances and research into the history and traditions of ballet doing so will give me a greater understanding of how ballet came to be what it is today and reinforcing my passion for ballet.

 

For assessment I will produce 1 ballet bodice, 1 romantic tutu, decoration sample and a collection of female ballet sleeve samples. I will also create a sketchbook of research into ballet performances and influential people in ballet. A 1500 word essay will also be produced comparing and contrasting three versions of Swan Lake watched during the project.
