Students are preparing for the December concert. We are working on clarity of movement and being creative with our bodies and voices. It is important to stay committed and focused when preparing for a performance, because a lot of people are depending on each other in order to create something great together.

Students are preparing for the December concert. We are working on creativity and qualities of movement. Rhythm is also an element. We have also looked at The film "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Tim Burton for inspiration.

It can be :
red, yellow, black, white, blue, green, brown, grey.

THREE DIMESIONS
Sebastian
and Katie are brother and sister. They are classmates from 6th
grade and they are on a field trip to the Munch museum.
Miss
Jane: Boys and girls, you now have an hour to explore the museum
in your pairs. We meet back here by the fountain at 2 PM
Nina:
Are we allowed to go in the gift shop and buy candy?
Eric:Yeah,
my mom gave me lots of money to buy goodies with
Miss
Jane: No gift shop. We just ate lunch and spend the time looking
at art, please
Lilly:
We never get to go in the gift shop. It is so boring here, only old
boring paintings
Chris:
Yeah, of old boring artists
Miss
Jane: Your job kids will be to make an exciting story about a
painting
Robert:
ooooh, yippiiii
Tina:
I love paintings-they make me dream
Sean:
Tina, you are such a dreamer. How can some dried up paint make you
dream?
Emilia:
Because it shows someone elses thoughts, ideas or dreams maybe,
Silly. Right Tina?
Tina:
Yeah, exactly
Chris:
Ok, show me the magic! I am ready for some serious art
Mr
Voss: Ok, ok, that is enough kids. Ok, Tina, Lori, Sean and
Emilia come with me. We are going to the modern art bit first
Sebastian:
Come on Katie. let`s find “Scream” I love how scary that
painting is
Katie:
I think it is this way, come on
Katie
and Sebastian stop in front of the “scream” and just look at it
for a while. Sebastian reaches out to touch the painting
Katie:
No, don`t do that. We will get into trouble. Maybe the alarm goes off
Sebastian:
Relax, I`ll be very careful
Sebastian
reaches in exactly where the mouth is and his hand disappears
Katie:
Ahh, did you see that? Your hand disappeared, what was that?
Sebastian:
I have no idea
Sebastian
puts a bigger part of his arm through the picture. Katie and
Sebastian look at each other
Sebastian
and Katie: Wooooooow, this is weird
Sebastian:
Hold on to my hand
And
he drags them both through the painting
Katie: Where is
this place? It is so familiar
Sebastian: I
know, it is creepy
Mr Ole: Excuse
me, what are you kids doing out here by yourselves? It is church
time, you`re supposed to be at church
Sebastian: Excuse
me Sir, but where are we?
Mr Ole: I have no
time for nonsense
Mr Ole walks over to a
man on the bridge who is crying
Mr Ole: Edvard,
quit being silly, everyone is waiting for you in the church. Lisa is
marrying your brother and that is the end of it
Edvard:
AAAAAAAARGHHHHHHIUUUUUÆÆÆÆHHHHHH
Katie and Sebastian look
at each other
Katie: I think I
know where we are
Sebastian and Katie:
We are in the “Scream”
Sebastian:This is
crazy
They follow the two men.
Edvard is being dragged by Mr Ole to the church. They follow them
into the church.
The Priest:
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony,
Lisa and Marius Grieg.
Edvard: Uhuuuu
Lisa: Can someone
please get the guests to be quiet during the ceremony?
Marius: Lisa, calm down.
This is our special day. Don`t let Edvard ruin it
Mr Robertson is handing
out the hymn books
Mr Robertson:
Sshhhhh, sit down you two, you are interrupting the ceremony
Sebastian and Katie take
the hymn book and try to blend in.
They open the book and
start singing a hymn. Katie points to a sentence and her finger
disappears into the page
Sebastian: Did
you see that? Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Sebastian and Katie:
Let`s go
Katie: This
church business is boring
They both jump into the
hymn book and disappears
They look around and
they see the most beautiful garden they have ever seen
Sebastian: What
is this place? Have you ever seen anywhere so beautiful?
Katie: Wooow,
look at those apples
Sebastian: Look
out for the snake
Katie:
AAAIIIIIOHHSKHKS Where?!?! Help, UUUU
Snake: Hellloooo
ssssssstrangers, Welcome to Paradissssse
Sebastian: Great,
a talking snake!
Katie: Shhh,
where are we Mr snake?
Snake:
Ssssssssilly people....tssss....tssssss.....tsssssss
The snake slithers on
Sebastian: Do you
think that we are...
Katie and Sebastian:
The Garden of Eden!
Katie: I`ve
always wanted to taste that apple-lift me up
Eric: Katie,
Sebastian-oh I`m so happy to see you. I tripped on Lisa`s notebook
and somehow I fell into a painting and then I was in the middle of a
wedding with some crazy people who forced me to sing hymns and all of
a sudden I had a horrible snake hugging me in this weird place
Sebastian: Well,
I wouldn`t like to live here for the rest of my life
Katie: What are
we going to do?
Sebastian: I have
an idea! Let`s try to jump through the waterfall-the museum is bound
to have many paintings with waterfalls
Katie: Any idea
is better than none. I`m ready
They go over to the
beautiful waterfall and
K+S+E:1,2,3
They jump in and get wet
Katie: Great idea
smarty-now we are all wet
Eric: Don`t
talk to him like that, what is your brilliant idea Katie?
Katie: Where is
yours Sebastian. This is all your fault!
While they are arguing
Eric sees a reflection in the waterfall
Eric: Hey guys,
take a look here. I can see the class in the museum. It is like a
two-way mirror through the fountain in the museum
Katie: Look at
that painting with that tree
Everybody looks at each
other and get`s the same idea
Sebastian:
Everybody search for the tree in the painting!!!!
They run of and touch
different trees and when Katie touches the third one her hand
disappears
Katie: Guys-this
one! This one! Let`s go!!!!
All three of them are by
the fountain with their classmates
Miss Jane: Time
to go home students. I hope that you have spent your time well. Why
are you all wet?
They walk out of the
museum

Last week we got to work on our diamonds again and the students trained movement improvisation, listening and reacting with bodies in cooperation.
We will work on our end piece through this type of movement improvisation. We also did some work on voice and support.
This week, we will keep working on our diamonds and see if we can link them up to situations and their unit.

Mirroring-concentration-team work
Students finished their week with a lovely PA lesson. Concentration, team work and creative independence is starting to show. We are preparing for an exercise called Diamonds and the students were focused and commited when mirroring each other. They managed to demonstrate use of tempo, levels and actions through a movement exercise.
Tuesday 16th of September 2014
 |
| Levels-qualities-focus The students are showing improvement in their quality of movement and their process when working, thinking about the skills that we are developing. Using the factors that we have been working on. Some really interesting work is coming alive in our PA room:-) Some students still need help to work on the focus and commitment that our work requires. |
Wednesday 10th of September 2014
 |
| Group-Responsibility-Team work-Concentration We still need to keep working on focus, concentration and collaboration. This is important for us to develop and progress in our physical knowledge. I have asked the students as a group to make sure that they take ownership of their PA lessons. The PA lessons depend on group dynamics as much as that of the individuals, so we will keep working on getting into that frame of mind. TOLERANCE RESPECT COMMITMENT are important attitudes |
Tuesday 2nd of September 2014
Tuesday 26th of August 2014
| Levels in the room We keep working on focus and clarity and we have introduced levels and we are implementing levels, tempo and qualities (how we do something) in our exercises. They are preparing for a movement improvisation, where they actually choreographer their own performance.... |
Tuesday 26th of August 2014
We will focus hard on concentration and keeping focused in the next PA lessons.
We are working on getting used to the focus that we need in a learning environment that may have different frames to the normal classroom. Finding the balance between playful exploration and disiplin. We are working on movement and awareness in the body and in the room.
 |
| Neutral |
Students have worked on being focused and concentrated. We have talked about standing in neutral and the skills that we are going to be developing. We played games and did exercises that strengthen their imagination, concentration and cooperation, amongst other skills. Looking forward to see their development :-)
