Make a Move!

This term’s Movement curriculum will explore the Eight Basic Efforts. The Eight Basic Efforts include Weight Awareness activities including: Punching, Floating, Slashing, Gliding, Pressing, Flicking, Wringing and Dabbing.

This week the Lower and Upper Primary groups will conclude their introduction to these efforts and would have practised each discipline in isolation as well as in sequence with its opposite.

The Movement exercises are done to show students how their bodies can be used to express various efforts. While some of the disciplines are strong, direct and sustained their opposites are light, indirect and sudden. 

This will assist students in all their movements across the stage whether it be in an improv or snippet and this is especially valuable during the performances of Mimes to Music.
