What you’ll learn
I can interpret words into actions.
Key learning points
- 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.
Words to know
- 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
Dancers have to be silent when performing.
Whilst this is usually the case, dance often connects with other artforms and occasionally dancers may also speak, sing or make sounds through body percussion (e.g. clapping or stamping).
For parents, carers and teachers
- Looking at artworks (such as the paintings of Roy Lichtenstein) for using onomatopoeia may help pupils see how sound can be translated into other forms.
