This week Year 7 classes at St Andrews International School Bangkok explored the Juilliard Creative Classroom lesson of Connected Duets as a part of their elements of composition schemes of work.
Our Year 7 classes have been exploring the elements of composition in dance through different lessons from our Juilliard Creative Classroom. This week we focused on partner work, specifically connected partnering or a connected duet. The students first explored shaping in different levels and mirrored or shadowed each other’s shape then each duet performed their moving shapes routine in front of the class. They were then asked to perform it again but this time they needed to be connected to each other in every part of their routine. Our students found so many creative ways to stay as a connected duet. Here are some highlights of the different duets from our Year 7 classes:
With the goal of providing meaningful help to the flood victims in the northern regions of Thailand, our entire community at St Andrews Bangkok came together to raise funds and donations for the affected families. In the span of a few short weeks, added to donations of food and clothing, we managed to raise an astounding total of 386,676.50 THB in donation funds. To all students, teachers, parents, and staff who participated in our efforts and contributed to this cause—thank you!
