Experience tailored for: Early Childhood to Late Adolescence (K to 12)
Description:
Students will 'pass through the smoke' in a traditional Nyungar welcome
ceremony, an ancient custom to set the stage of openness and unity. Be amazed
as the Nyungar dancers communicate their stories through the universal language
of dance. The dancers will then workshop with the students tutoring them
in Nyungar dance moves, body/'Bookha' (traditional dress) painting and Nyungar
art. Students will have the opportunity to develop their skills and share
their own stories in dance with other class-members in a traditional Nyungar
context around a campfire, enjoying traditional Nyungar camp food.
At the end
of this learning experience students will:
- Have an appreciation
of Nyungar Culture, language, customs and traditions
- Develop fundamental
dance skills of the Nyungar people
- Appreciate
the link between dance and communication
- Explain the
importance of dance to the Nyungar people
- Use dance
as a form of communication in celebration and story-telling
- Make and taste
traditionally cooked Nyungar Camp Food
- Link Dance and
Nyungar painting as an art-form and use Nyungar Art in communication.

English language competence
In developing English Language Competence within the Dance Course of Study,
students build on communication, production, and analysis skills with special
emphasis on the use of gesture and body movement. They will use specialised
vocabulary to communicate in verbal and written forms to create and perform
dance and to interpret and critically analyse a range of dance text for
a variety of audiences and contexts. They will use a range of language processes
and strategies to communicate complex ideas.
