What to do
You will use three elements to create an original piece of choreography for a section of an item of Te Ao Haka.
Part 1
Select a section of an item of Te Ao Haka for which you will create original choreography. Deepen your knowledge of the kaupapa of your chosen item by doing research, or discussing the kaupapa with someone you trust, like a kaiako, whānau member, kaumātua or friend.
You can also watch videos of your favourite items. Can you identify any elements, and how they are being used through the choreography?
Part 2
Now that you have chosen your item and are familiar with the kaupapa, consider:
- what do you want your audience to understand and feel about your chosen kaupapa when they see your choreography?
- how will you communicate those moments and that understanding using elements of Te Ao Haka?
Create a first draft of your choreography, identifying which elements you are using, how they are expressed, and why. What effect do these choices have on your music and how an audience might respond?
Part 3
Decide if you want to perform your own choreography, or if you will teach it to others. If you are performing your own movements, begin practicing them in front of a mirror or a camera, or in front of someone you trust.
If you are teaching your choreography to others, show them the movements and explain how you want the elements you have chosen to be demonstrated in the performance.
Use this time to give yourself feedback on what looks good, and what could be stronger. Are the choices you have made about your elements coming through clearly in the movements? Make any final revisions to your choreography.
Your final submission should also include a discussion of three elements you have used, how you have used them, and how they help communicate your kaupapa. Explain why you chose those elements, and what effects they have on your choreography.
You might choose to perform your choreography in class, in which case you should write down some notes so that you can talk about your use of elements as part of your presentation.

How to present your learning
Create a piece of original, student-generated choreography for a section of an item of Te Ao Haka, and an accompanying explanation of the use of elements.
This may be submitted as a video recording, or as a presentation in class.
The section of choreography should approximately be 30 seconds to 1 minute, and the explanation should be around 350 words (or 2 minutes).
If you are submitting your work as a video recording of your choreography, hand in the final version of your movements and your accompanying writing about your use of elements.
If you are doing a presentation in class, you or someone else will perform your choreography, and you will talk about your use of elements.

Getting started
In this Assessment Activity, you will express your creativity by using three elements to create original choreography for a section of an item of Te Ao Haka. Examples of elements include:
- tempo
- dynamics
- characterisation
- voice
- point of view
A more extensive list of elements is available within the Subject Glossary for Te Ao Haka: https://ncea.education.govt.nz/arts/te-ao-haka?view=subject-glossary.
As you start to think about what your choreography will look like, consider the kaupapa of your item. What elements would effectively communicate this kaupapa through movement? How could you best use these elements together?
