Common mistakes
Pretending to be an object is drama, not dance.
Pretending to be an object is often categorised as 'physical theatre'. This is where dance and drama overlap and it draws upon skills from both disciplines. A similar connection is made when dancers represent characters or scenes from a story.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Ensure pupils are working with pupils they are comfortable being close to and/or making contact with.
