Unit Summary
A pure approach introduces Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships and some constituent elements in each as a basis for future units. Pupils combine content making personal choices based on problem-solving, aesthetics and safety, providing opportunities to reflect and share opinions.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to combine or link actions, space, dynamics and relationships.
Key Notes
- Move: combining or linking actions, space and dynamics requires balance, coordination and control.
- Move: mirroring our partner requires focus and control to communicate our connection and harmony.
- Think: replicating actions without using a bean bag requires the use of imagination.
- Feel: trying new movements and combining different ideas requires self-belief.
- Connect: taking turns involves fairness and patience.
Vocabulary To Learn
- space: where an action happens
- dynamics: how an action is performed
- relationships: who the action is performed with
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Pupils think that when performing mirroring duets they should remain on the spot.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: combining or linking actions, space and dynamics requires balance, coordination and control. Move: mirroring our partner requires focus and control to communicate our connection and harmony.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'space'
where an action happens.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: Pupils think that when performing mirroring duets they should remain on the spot. Correction: Mirroring duets typically remain in situ (and may need to for safety reasons e.g. in a small space), but they should be encouraged to lean towards or away from their partner, as well as move sideways to prevent the work from becoming purely gestural.
