Our Learning:

All children used a visual image of a tree as their ‘stimulus’ to create a short sequence of movement as a starting point!

• knot Tree
• The Branch Tree
• The Connecting Tree
• The Tunnel Tree

The children Used Improvisation as a creativity tool to creative freedom of movement. Improvisation opens up the mind to spontaneous movement, allowing the body to be free.

Poem words that inspired the Dance piece:

• Towering trees & November breeze.
• Splattering of golden leaves, Cloud drifts across the sky.
• The low sun warms & Hungry birds circle and watch their prey.
• Leaves whispered leaving autumn behind goodbye.
• Towing Tree, Away qliver in brisk, Bare trees, Entwined like a knot and Wispy clouds.
• In the distance, Majestic trees sway, Bitter cold, Breeze, Poor trees not clothed, No leaves, No Blossom, No Fruit and Will you survive?
• Skeletal trees tangled, knotting, towering trees, winter breeze, tall dead trees and winter winds.
• sleeping branches.
• Rotten leaves, damp grass, Rocking side to side, icy breeze, trees die and evil clouds.
