Unit Summary
This unit utilises a pure approach that allows action-space-dynamics-relationships to be combined with fluency, accuracy and detail with each lesson being driven by a different stimuli to challenge creativity and problem solving drawing upon prior learning and preparing pupils for KS4.
Lesson Summary
You will learn to interpret words into actions.
Key Notes
- Move: selecting actions and the correct dynamics to communicate a sound involves competency.
- Move: observation involves watching the work of others and reacting to it.
- Think: adjustments and amendments are a result of ongoing evaluations.
- Feel: accuracy of projection requires integrity.
- Connect: the collaborative process involves cooperation, negotiation and compromise.
Vocabulary To Learn
- onomatopoeia: words that sound like their noise
- projection: the effective communication of the dance idea
- dynamics: the speed and force of an action
Common Mistakes To Avoid
- Dancers have to be silent when performing.
3 Quick Questions (With Answers)
