Description

A narrative approach develops a wider range of creative responses to issue based work employing Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships in a cohesive manner. Pupils express individuality through character-based work, reflecting on social issues. Pupils create dances using binary and ternary forms.

Pupils continue to broach challenging and complex concepts that draw upon multiple, interconnected factors. This will deepen their understanding of issue-based work in dance and how this is used as a tool for advocacy and activism as introduced in the previous unit alongside developing and combining their physical, expressive, choreographic and analytical skills in preparation for key stage 3. This unit has potential to synthesise and draw upon all elements covered in previous units to enable pupils to unify their skills into a cohesive performance.
