What you’ll learn
I can adapt my actions to ensure they project their intent effectively.
Key learning points
- Move: applying expressive skills to actions improves projection.
- Think: identifying the qualities we admire in others requires reflection.
- Feel: not being affected by the opinion of others involves integrity.
- Connect: representing another person accurately demonstrates respect.
Words to know
- extension
- lengthening through the body to fully perform an action
- emphasis
- highlighting an action or shape
- focus
- where a performer is looking
Common mistakes
Not accepting the first action that a pupil offers is likely to put them off.
Challenging pupils to generate more than one response, or to find ways to refine their actions, before making their final selection, enables pupils to develop their creativity and understanding of choreographic and performance skills.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Prior to the lesson starting, consider a few inspirational people that the pupils are likely to be aware of and respect, these may link to their studies in other subject areas.
