In this study, my ambition is to find new methods for creating dance material, both for a pedagogic andartistic context. The study examines how dancers and spectators experience choreographic dance materialthat has the intention of conveying a predetermined message and is composed based on photocomposition. The survey shows that photocomposition added a way to work choreographically in dancethat I have not found in dance composition. The choreographic method based on photo composition hasthrough the phenomenological analysis model shown that it is possible to influence the spectators anddancers experience of a dance material in a predetermined direction. The choreographic method and theresults of this study can be useful in several didactic contexts and the method can be useful for bothteachers in the creation of dance material for dance classes or material for the stage, but also for studentsin their own work and creating processes. This study provides methods for creating dance in differentcontexts, which can be used both in teaching and creative work. Hopefully, this survey and its results canbe useful and applicable for other danceteachers in their work.Keywords:
