Learning Observed

During iExperience this term with the Strategic Leadership Team (SLT), we have been learning how to use movement and space to effectively communicate.  The lasting understanding is that people represent their culture and heritage in different dramatic ways- past and present.  Learners had a variety of opportunities to explore the use of space, props and their body for communicating different ideas.  Taanvi worked in a group with Nehaal, Seth, Mohammed and Anjlii to use dramatic techniques to explore drama elements and conventions and exhibited a real passion and enthusiasm for performing when asked to initiate and develop ideas with others to create dramatic 1 minute skit about a culture.
