Today Mrs wanted to remind the class and I what a 'rights respecting school' was... it is when each student and teacher has the right to say what they think, give opinions and express themselves how they want to be. I wondered why we were talking about 'rights respecting' untill the class and I watched a clip of dance.
The dance had no music (dead silant) and the dancers were all male. There was a lot of conflict between the two 'inspectors' and the captured prisoner. As there was no music to tell a story or add atmosphere etc... the dancers had to make sharp, easy to understand movements, to make it clear to the audiance. When ever an 'inspector' asked a question he would make a noise with his foot, or display a vicous movement or point, whilst the other dancers stay still. The dance seemed extremly hard to do because you have to be clear with every strech and body movements.
Then I got into a group to make up our own 'inspector' and 'prisoneri'. I was a prisoner. I took more lead in directing the dance rather than dancing.
When it was time to show our performances, I wasnt that confident because we only had 10 mins to create and rehearse them. When it was the group and my turn, we got into our positions (I started sitting on the seat). However we diddnt know when to come in, so we froze awkwardly. Then miss told us that there isnt much music to dance to, so we would have to go when ever we were ready...so we did. Our dance was really short. It wasnt the best but we still finished it. :)
