Looking at how we move our bodies,
dynamics within movement of the body.
In today’s workshop we looked at how the body moves using
a key element in dance, which is Dynamics. Dynamics is apparently one of the
hardest concepts to understand in terms of movement (McGill, I. 2014). For our
last piece of dance in the workshop, we had to look at a musical ‘Matilda’s Revolting
Children’.
This song involved us as the revolting children meeting and greeting
each other before class starts. We were split into groups of 3 and had to think
of gestures that would be used in the everyday classroom or playground, to use
in the overall dance performance. Our group concentrated on bullying and rejection
of one “child” in the group, grabbing their bag and throwing it to other
students. As pre-service teachers we must teach our students that negative
gestures and bullying are not the correct way to treat others. Teaching students
this dance gives them a different perspective on how to treat others.
