Abstract
ABSTRACT Value Stream Mapping (VSM), a lean manufacturing technique, is a process analysis approach that focuses on value and waste. This project explored the development and incorporation of a VSM-inspired tool to help dance composition students consider the value present in their choreography explicitly. The proposed Choreographic Tension Mapping (CTM) tool was incorporated into an upper-level dance composition course in the Dance Program in collaboration with the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Florida. Students used this tool multiple times throughout the semester. They responded to a set of prompts to reflect on their experience of using CTM and its impact on their creative processes. Students’ responses to one of the prompts were qualitatively analyzed. The preliminary findings demonstrated the potential benefits of the use of CTM to support the development of skills in choreographing, collaborating in a group, and giving constructive feedback in dance composition education.
