An Update from the Dance / Drama Department

In January we focused a lot on Arctic animals in drama and dance. We
played Arctic animal charades a lot ( they loved it). We also explored
different ways of manipulating and molding our bodies and voices to
create different animals. We learned about the Arctic weather and
geography and in dance class incorporated Arctic weather and geography
in a movement  game. In Dance/ Drama we also  focused on exploring
tempo, speeds and levels, spatial awareness and group concentration.

In February we will start putting together a choreographed movement
piece that will incorporated movements created by each member of the
group. We will also focus on learning  break dancing and a Chinese
new year dragon dance. In Drama we will continue to explore group
awareness, character development and story telling.
