This article is unique because author, Audra Chantel Fletcher, creatively integrates her dance choreography developmental steps with the way writing can be developed. Since it can oftentimes be difficult for tutors to help bridge the gap between academic information and the creative, more magical process of writing, Fletcher uses what she's learned in dance to provide alternative steps to approach papers:
"When I encountered its five-step process for creating choreography, I suddenly realized that these steps to creativity in dance could apply to the
writing process as well. The five steps
are:
1. Decide on a problem to be solved.
2. Have the right kind of prepara- tion.
3. Allow enough time, and work for the discovery of appropriate solutions.
4. Experiment with the use of the different solutions discovered during step three.
5. Decide whether the project
needs further work or if it is
complete."1. Decide on a problem to be solved.
2. Have the right kind of prepara- tion.
3. Allow enough time, and work for the discovery of appropriate solutions.
4. Experiment with the use of the different solutions discovered during step three.
Throughout the rest of the article, Fletcher goes further in-depth on how to implement these creative steps. She discusses how the steps can be used to guide students to a more efficient means of language and skill and to bridge that gap between language and art.
