CHALLENGE #1 - DRAWING AND DANCE - PART 1
LISTEN TO THE TASKS IN THIS AUDIO CLIP:
OR FOLLOW THE WRITTEN TASKS HERE:
Task 1: Choose up to 3 images or photographs of a dance or a dancer. It could be some-one whose dance you know and admire, but equally it could be an image you find on the internet.
Corali dancer Bethan Kendrick chose photographs of the famous dancer Merce Cunningham when she created this task - see above.
Task 2: Create 3 – 6 moves from your chosen image/s. Use different parts of your body to make the movements, for example you could create one with your hands, one with your legs, one with your head.
Task 3: Find a way to link these movements together to make a dance of your own.
Task 4: You can play with the dynamic - fast or slow, strong or soft. You can play with the levels and directions of your dance.
Task 5: You can try putting your dance to music
Task 6: Now you have your own dance inspired by a dance you admire!
Task 7: If you would like - you could perform your dance to other people.
Task 8: Now you can try something else creative with your new dance and make a drawing from it. You can try this in different ways:
Try standing on the piece of paper and draw the movement as you dance
Perform the whole dance and when you finish draw how it felt to dance it
Challenge #1 complete! Now you have a drawing of yourself dancing!
