Lesson details

Key learning points

  1. Move: creating and performing actions using a flowing dynamic communicates the quality of spray paint.
  2. Move: performing contrasting shapes and actions using canon ensures the performance is aesthetically pleasing.
  3. Think: evaluation enables us to make effective decisions on how and when to respond to a partner’s shape or actions.
  4. Feel: being considerate of others when working in close proximity demonstrates empathy.
  5. Connect: we need to be respectful when responding to the shapes or actions of others.

Keywords

  • Canon - performing an action one after another

  • Flow - move steadily and continuously

  • Aesthetics - performing the same movement at exactly the same time as our partner

Common misconception

To communicate spray paint we rush around the room, making hissing noises.

To communicate the idea of using spray paint we need to perform smooth and flowing actions using control, balance and coordination.
