What you’ll learn
I can perform a mirroring duet with a partner.
Key learning points
- Move: performing a mirroring motif as a duet requires accurate timing and recall.
- Think: creating and recalling a motif requires imagination and memory.
- Feel: showing our work to others requires self-belief.
- Connect: watching attentively and waiting patiently requires fairness.
Words to know
- duet
- a performance by two people
- perform
- showing work to others (the audience)
- motif
- a pattern of actions that can be repeated and developed
Common mistakes
A performance needs to be on a stage, at a theatre.
Performing is where we show our work to another, it might be on a stage, but equally it can be a part of the lesson where we share ideas, thoughts and opinions so that we can all improve.
For parents, carers and teachers
- If pupils become daunted by the word 'performance', substitute 'sharing your work' or 'showing your work'. Also consider returning to performing solely to the other duet for the final performance.
