Living Soul Dance said:I would suggest using a combination of sign language and large movements.
Visit this web-site for Christian sign language movements:
www.jireh.demon.co.uk/signstart.htm
1) Write down the action words in your song.
2) Find the sign language movements for the action words of your song.
3) Make these sign language movements larger and more dramatic then the average sign language conversation!
4) Always try to make the action words as literal a possible so that your audience can understand the meaning of your dance.
5) Add turns, jumps and kicks in the appropriate places.
*Example: If the song say's "He lifted me", use the sign for redeemed but start by kneeling on the ground and rising up or jumping up, which ever is in harmony with your music.
Remember that the most important thing is to Make God's Word as clear and as bold as possible to your audience.
6) Facial expressions are vital in interpretive or literal choreography.
Your facial expressions must be in line with the emotions of your song. You must characterize the dance!
Study other forms of dance and watch how the choreographers say certain things through dance. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in what movements would be best.
Pray
And let God do the rest!
