Have students create dance phrases interpreting observations of their environment. Have students explore sounds heard in the school. Examples might be murmurs of conversation, the rustle of paper, chalk on the blackboard, etc. Have students describe the different sounds they hear. Keep track of the words on the board.
School sounds Ask students to record the sounds.
Have them create a sound collage. Explore different movements that might represent the sounds the students heard. Explore the sounds through movement one at a time. Explore action, dynamics and space concepts which might accompany the sound. The pulse might occur in the whole body and then in a finger.
