The performance element of the course is accountable for 30% of the GCSE and is made up of a solo performance as well as a group performance.

SOLO: There are 4 different solo's provided by AQA. These are: 

                      FLUX            SHIFT           BREATHE            SCOOP

            For the exam you will learn and perform 2 of these solo's to a

           metronome and will be filmed to be marked

GROUP DANCE: The group dance is devised around a stimulus and each of you will be marked individually.

For each of these performances, you will be marked on your physical, technical, expressive and mental skills which are defined below!

These are tooth fairies from Matthew Bourne's - Nutcracker. How do they use facial expressions to communicate their character to the audience?

Can you describe the use of space used by these dancers? How might they improve their spatial awareness?
