Ghost Dances

Start with the people and basic facts

Begin with the mind map on the basic information about Ghost Dances. It brings together the choreographer, company, dance style and purpose. Another mind map, Ghost Dances, groups facts with features such as costume, accompaniment, set design and a movement motif. Use these maps to get a sense of the details you want to study further.

As you read, make a short list of the people involved and their roles. The mind map on the people involved includes the choreographer, costume designer, lighting designer, dancers and accompaniment. You can return to it when a flashcard asks about a role.

Explore the features

Next, look at Ghost Dances Costumes and Ghost Dances Physical Setting. The map Ghost Dancers (1981) brings together costume, set and accompaniment design with movement and structure. These resources offer different ways to organize your notes on the dance.

There are also mind maps on themes, starting points and key movement material, as well as maps focused on particular sections. Choose one area to study at a time, then use a broader map to see how it sits alongside the other features listed.

Practice recall and organize your study

The flashcards ask about details such as the choreographer, company, dance style and designers. Try answering from memory, then return to a mind map to check the details you want to review. There are no quizzes on this page, so the flashcards are the available format for question-based practice.

Ghost Dances is a section of the Dance Set Works and Analysis unit in Performing arts (theatre, dance). Use the maps here to organize your study of this section, then pick a set of flashcards for a recall check.
