Description

A themed approach uses Action-Space-Dynamics-Relationships to react to controversial art forms. Looking at Basquiat and Banksy, pupils question if it is social comment, work of art or criminal act. Using analytical skills, infusing dance with Hip-hop influences that emerged alongside graffiti art.

Pupils continue the ‘social’ thread, applying it to a contemporary context and reflecting on how communities communicate their values. Using visual art as a stimuli pupils translate images into actions, apply and justify appropriate choreographic relationships as a preparation for dance at KS3 and beyond. This unit further develops their understanding of the many purposes of dance whilst employing stylistic features, question and answer relationships and geometric shapes and formations alongside developing flexibility, strength and coordination.
