Modern Dance Technique Analysis

After our lecture on Modern Dance Techniques, take a moment to review and analyze what the defining principles of each technique are.

In a minimum of two paragraphs (5-7 sentences each):

Briefly describe the key concepts/principles of each of the techniques listed in the lecture.
Choose two technique creators (Duncan, Humphrey, Limon, Horton, Dunham, or Cunningham) and, via a YouTube search, find a piece choreographed by each of them (i.e: “Mother” choreographed by Duncan” and “The Beloved” by Lester Horton). Name the choreographers, title of the pieces, and the year in which they were choreographed in your writing. You will discuss how the creation of their techniques are reflected in their creative work. Are the defining principles of the technique obvious in their choreography? Do these technical concepts aid in the emotional quality of the performance or no? Compare and contrast the two choreographies/pioneers.
