Unit Summary
This unit is a thematic approach drawing upon personal experiences to consolidate and deepen their knowledge and understanding of Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships to create, develop and analyse ideas, motifs and dances. They will use similarities and differences to form connections and contrast.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to effectively communicate a range of activities through movement.
Key Notes
- Move: applying dynamics to actions can help to communicate a dance idea more effectively.
- Think: reflecting on how we perform an action enables us to refine our work to project meaning.
- Feel: performing with integrity supports projection.
- Connect: listening and responding to feedback demonstrates respect and supports improvement.
Vocabulary To Learn
- projection: communicating the dance idea effectively
- exaggerate: to increase the size, force or effect
- dynamics: how an action is performed, a combination of speed and force
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- When applying dynamics, fast actions are always strong.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
1. Explain the lesson in two key points.
Move: applying dynamics to actions can help to communicate a dance idea more effectively. Think: reflecting on how we perform an action enables us to refine our work to project meaning.
2. What does this key word mean in this lesson? 'projection'
communicating the dance idea effectively.
3. Correct this common mistake.
Mistake: When applying dynamics, fast actions are always strong. Correction: We often tend to combine fast actions with strength and slow actions with softness but this isn't always the case. Slow and strong could suggest great effort against resistence, and fast and light actions communicate fluidity and ease.
