Question 4

Why is it essential to include specific, detailed movement descriptions as evidence when answering questions in NCEA AS 91211?

To substantiate interpretations with observable facts from the performance rather than unsupported opinions

Question 5

What is the primary difference between a choreographer's intention and a viewer's interpretation of a dance performance?
