In groups, we have been using space, timing, energy, levels and relationships to create a series of moving scenes, with each one ending in a freeze frame, that represent the poem . We have been working on trying to be creative and figurative in our movements rather than literal to represent the poetry we have been studying.
The most recent poem we have been working on is 'If I Were A Storm...' by Katie Boom.
The poem reads:
If I were a storm,
I would range over farms and plains,
houses, cities and seas.
I would beat against the window panes of houses
with warm fires inside.
I would whip the leaves off trees.
I would flood rivers while I could,
for all too soon, the sun will peep out
from behind a cloud
and I must pick up my black billowing skirts and leave
to whine over the oceans and beyond.
