INFRA SECTION 5 EXPLORATION<br />
When generating movement material<br />
Wayne McGregor often talks about making<br />
movement vocabulary into sentences of<br />
movement and developing into longer<br />
paragraphs of movement.<br />
+ + Structure and link the movement results of Tasks 2 a,b,c,d above<br />
to form a paragraph (longer phrase) of movement.<br />
+ + They can be performed in any order.<br />
+ + Think about the punctuation: where are the commas (pauses/breath) and<br />
full stops? Are there any exclamation marks (i.e. expressive performance)?<br />
Teaching Note<br />
This whole activity could be<br />
done using any movement<br />
as a starting point for the<br />
initial word analysis.<br />
15 minutes<br />
1 or 2 dancers<br />
or small groups<br />
Performance Structure<br />
A suggested structure for Task 3 is:<br />
+ + The exploration outcome of Task 2d (performed individually but at the<br />
same time)<br />
+ + The outcome of Task 2a (in unison or overlapping in canon)<br />
+ + The outcome of Task 2b repeated with the dynamic instruction of Task 2c<br />
(repeat gradually reducing performance presence and scale of movement,<br />
ending in stillness)<br />

Differentiation<br />
This activity is differentiated by outcome: it depends on the individual<br />
creativity of the students but an original response to the tasks should be<br />
encouraged. The students should be helped to delve deeper and go beyond<br />
their initial response. Depending on the length of lesson, you might focus on<br />
just two of the Word Set tasks in one lesson and do some more teacher-led<br />
warm-up activities to get students ready for exploring words with different<br />
body parts.<br />
