Dance Mitosis

The dance is intended to model the phases of the cell cycle including mitosis through movement. The phases that will be depicted are interphase where the cell grows and DNA duplicates, prophase where spindles form and chromosomes condense, metaphase where chromosomes line up, anaphase where sister chromatids separate, telophase where new nuclear envelopes form, and cytokinesis where the cell divides. The dance will be evaluated based on accurately depicting the sequence and transitions between phases, how smoothly it shifts between phases, how well the movements represent key structures and moments, the quality of the video editing and length, and the level of participation and collaboration among group members.

Dance Mitosis

Objective​: Create a dance the models the phases of a cells life cycle including the stages of mitosis and
shoes the transitions between stages.
Phases​:
Interphase​: Cell grows and DNA duplicates
Prophase​: Spindles begin to form and chromosomes become visible and Nuclear
Envelope breaks down, and centrioles separate.
Metaphase​: Chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and is connected to
spindle fibers at the centromere
Anaphase​: Sister Chromatids separated and moved apart
Telophase​: Chromosome gather at the opposite ends of the cells, loose their shape and
two new nuclear envelopes form
Cytokinesis​:cytoplasm pinches in half and each daughter cell has an identical set of
duplicated chromosomes
