We were separated into small groups consisting of four or five members. The two leaders gave us instructions. Our main aim was to create a simple piece of choreography with uncomplicated moves and no music. Instead of music, we had to use our own voices by making sounds like ‘aaaah’, ‘yeah’, ‘oh’ and so on. What was engaging about it was that each person in each team had to initiate a movement which would be followed by a sound characterizing it. Once each member of the team had made his/her contribution, the leaders asked us all to give an appropriate name to our group. Then each group took it in turns to perform their dance.
I must say that it was a really brilliant experience that made us feel free and helped us get rid of all our stress and anxiety! We had a great time and at the same time we developed stronger relationships with the other children and our leaders as well!
