Abstract
Aimed at developing a guidance method allowing children to merrily and independently undertake expres-sion activities, we proposed a guidance method for expression motion using a “dance circuit” and verified the method over the past two years through lessons.As a result of the verification through such lessons, we concluded that the “dance circuit”is a guidance method that enables children to devise their own expres-sions.The “dance circuit” involves an imaginary world drawn by vinyl tape and the saying of selected words by children to other children to naturally draw out affluent expressions, toimprovisatorially attempt motion, while securing an amount of motion by repeating ways and means anew many times while deepen-ing an understanding of the expression characteristics of motion.Through learningby combining self assess-ment using VTR, the“dance circuit”functions to objectively see one's own motion byimprovisatorial expression and to deepen expressions faithfully to those expressions as imaged by the children.
