GCSE Performing Arts (Double Award) Unit 4 Designs for the Chosen Commission. This is a research task for the 2011 commission on the theme of 'Separation'. Students use the websites/printouts to develop their understanding of the rural and community touring scheme. The scheme used as an example is one in North Yorkshire. There are links to resources from the National Rural Touring Forum and the student notes from the AQA website.
Based on 'dreams and nightmares' this one hour one-off workshop draws on teaxt from &'Twilight&'; as a stimulus and Hans Zimmer's music from &'Inception&';. Students use unison, floorwork, low level transitions, push, pull, fall & support and assisted jump to create a character and communicate with the audience. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. This could easily be adapted fro year eight classes all the way up to GCSE.
