John Cage had a long association with Cunningham as the composer of the soundscapes that accompanied his dances. Both Cage and Cunningham used chance as a method for creating their work. For example, Cunningham would roll dice to determine the sequencing of movement phrases. Points in Space Christopher House, on the other hand, works closely with the music he uses for his dances. He considers some of his dances to be almost like music visualization.
Music visualization is the translation of the structure of a musical composition into movement.
Look at the work of the choreographers the students have chosen to research. Discuss the dance presentations as a whole class, or have students work independently or in small groups by giving them task sheets with guided questions. Consider the relationship of the music or soundscore to the dance. Consider the form of the dance and the way the dance elements and principles of composition are used. The choice will depend on the movement exploration in which the students are engaged.
