To show narrative within our work: cyber-bullying

In this lesson, we will learn how to use narrative to communicate a theme in our choreography. We will use the idea of cyber-bullying by looking at how and why it happens and by choosing a character to play. We will create a phrase that has a clear beginning, middle and end from that person's perspective.
