# HDP Student Interviews Round 1

HDP students will opt-in to participate in filmed interviews that track their learning development of three core course objectives:

- ***Dance/Movement Literacy***
- Students will be able to articulate their thoughts, feelings, and questions about dance and choreographic work, using shared vocabulary and their knowledge of movement discourse. This literacy will be visible in both responding to others' work and ideas as well as in the articulation of one's own ideas and creation.
- ***Individual Artistic Agency***
- Students will be able to articulate their own creative interests, including themes and questions, mediums, feelings, etc. They will be able to talk about their own inspiration, as well as their strengths in artistic creation. They will understand who they want to be as an artist, with an emphasis on their moral agency as artists.
- ***Connections between dance/movement and other interests***
- Students will be able to articulate how their dance interests and practice inform other areas of their study and interest, and potential avenues for including movement research across disciplines

Interviews will be conducted at the start and end of the spring 2022 semester. The goal of conducting these interviews twice is to track the development of thinking and articulation in alignment with the course, as well as give students an opportunity to witness their previous selves and respond on ways they have grown or changed their thinking since then.

Opt-in filmed interviews - Conduct a short interview with students at the beginning of the course with questions that align with targeted course objectives. Students recoeved extra credit toward their final grade for participating. At the end of the course, students who participated will have the option to film again with the same questions after watching themselves answer the first round.
