Key learning points
- Move: representing symbols found in art work, with our dance actions, requires performing with clarity and control.
- Move: repeating key shapes and actions demonstrates their importance, ensuring a clear performance.
- Think: decision making is involved when amalgamating with another duet.
- Feel: portraying a theme linked to a symbol or stimulus requires responsibility.
- Connect: moving closely with others or using contact work requires respect from all involved.
Words to know
- unity
- working as one, being whole
- adapt
- to modify or adjust
- symbol
- a thing that represents or stands for something else
Common mistakes
A heart only symbolises love.
Whilst love is the most common interpretation of a heart symbol, it can also represent unity, gratitude, hope, care, comfort, friendship, romance, resisting oppression and acceptance.
