What you’ll learn
I can effectively communicate a range of activities through movement.
Key learning points
- Move: applying dynamics to actions can help to communicate a dance idea more effectively.
- Think: reflecting on how we perform an action enables us to refine our work to project meaning.
- Feel: performing with integrity supports projection.
- Connect: listening and responding to feedback demonstrates respect and supports improvement.
Words to know
- projection
- communicating the dance idea effectively
- exaggerate
- to increase the size, force or effect
- dynamics
- how an action is performed, a combination of speed and force
Common mistakes
When applying dynamics, fast actions are always strong.
We often tend to combine fast actions with strength and slow actions with softness but this isn't always the case. Slow and strong could suggest great effort against resistence, and fast and light actions communicate fluidity and ease.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Researching sign language gestures can be a useful support for pupils when creating actions to communicate specific activities or hobbies.
