Performing Arts News
As part of their current unit of inquiry, the boys in Year 5 have been exploring symbols and their significance in Performing Arts. We have discussed how symbols can be used to imply greater meaning than the literal suggestion and can be used in Performing Arts to represent something other than what is at face value. The boys have discussed how symbolism can be achieved via characters, colour, movement, costume and props. They are now in the process of choreographing a dance piece based on their own suggestions of where we see symbols in society. This dance piece will be showcased at the Junior School/Middle School Mid-Year Concert on Friday 20 June. We look forward to seeing you there!
