Presented at: Workshop in Multimedia and Dance Pedagogy U. of Limerick 1997

Abstract:

The context of resource-based teaching defines two main categories of multimedia resources: those that focus on discipline-based dance study and act as references to support the students’ own work and those that are based on professional dance works as exemplars to inform and extend the students’ practical and theory work. Each of these ‘strands’ is considered from the point of view of a dance teacher. Through comparative analysis of the ‘problems’ in use of linear video with ‘solutions’ identified, first in laser and later in CD technology, a case is made for the latter in developing banks of multi-layered resources for dance education.
