  1. Relationships in Space Directions

  2. Spatial Aspects • This is where the action occurs • There is your own personal space – the bubble around you & where you can reach to • There is the general space – the areas outside of your bubble & you have to move into, through, around & across

  3. Spatial Levels • There are 3 spatial levels • High (Jump, stand, tip toe or reach up) • Medium (Lunge, stand on flat feet, kneel) • Low/Deep (Kneel, sit, lie, roll or slide)

  4. Spatial Levels • There are 3 spatial levels • High (Jump, stand, tip toe or reach up) • Medium (Lunge, stand on flat feet, kneel) • Low/Deep (Kneel, sit, lie, roll or slide) Low

  5. Spatial Levels • There are 3 spatial levels • High (Jump, stand, tip toe or reach up) • Medium (Lunge, stand on flat feet, kneel) • Low/Deep (Kneel, sit, lie, roll or slide) Medium Low

  6. Spatial Levels • There are 3 spatial levels • High (Jump, stand, tip toe or reach up) • Medium (Lunge, stand on flat feet, kneel) • Low/Deep (Kneel, sit, lie, roll or slide) High Medium Low

  7. Directions – Describing Lines • Three dimensional forms are defined by • Height • Width • Breadth A diagonal is defined in relation to a three-dimensional solid: A Cube • Which has 6 sides & 8 corners

  8. Directions • There are 6 single directions • High (H) • Deep (D) • To the Right (R) • To the Left (L) • Forwards (F) • Backwards (B)

  9. Directions High • There are 6 single directions • High (H) • Deep (D) • To the Right (R) • To the Left (L) • Forwards (F) • Backwards (B) Backwards Left Right Forwards Deep

  10. Planes • There are three PLANES we can move in • With 12 two-dimensional directions

  11. Planes • There are three PLANES we can move in • With 12 two-dimensional directions HR HL DL DR Spatial DOOR plane Movements from side to side Reaching high & low

  12. Planes • There are three PLANES we can move in • With 12 two-dimensional directions Spatial TABLE plane Movements reaching forwards & backwards At waist height, to left & right FR FL BL BL

  13. FH BH FD BD Spatial WHEEL plane Movements reaching forwards & backwards With change of level – no sideways action Planes • There are three PLANES we can move in • With 12 two-dimensional directions

  14. FH BH FD BD Spatial WHEEL plane Movements reaching forwards & backwards With change of level – no sideways action Planes • There are three PLANES we can move in • With 12 two-dimensional directions HR Spatial TABLE plane Movements reaching forwards & backwards At waist height, to left & right HL FR FL DL DR Spatial DOOR plane Movements from side to side Reaching high & low BL BL

  15. The Three Planes Door Plane Table Plane Wheel Plane • Connect front to back through the centre • The diagonals shown are on three planes

  16. Diagonals • There are also 3-D directions (as opposed to 2-D planes) • With 8 diagonal directions • To reach HRF the gesture goes • High • Forwards • To the Right

  17. Diagonals • There are also 3-D directions (as opposed to 2-D planes) • With 8 diagonal directions • To reach HRF the gesture goes • High • Forwards • To the Right

  18. Diagonals • There are also 3-D directions (as opposed to 2-D planes) • With 8 diagonal directions • To reach HRF the gesture goes • High • Forwards • To the Right

  19. Diagonals • There are also 3-D directions (as opposed to 2-D planes) • With 8 diagonal directions • To reach HRF the gesture goes • High • Forwards • To the Right

  20. Diagonals • There are also 3-D directions (as opposed to 2-D planes) • With 8 diagonal directions • To reach HRF the gesture goes • High • Forwards • To the Right

  21. Pathways • Travel on different pathways • Zig-Zag • Curved • Diagonal • Wavey • Labelled from the point of view of the dancer on the stage • Can be drawn by marking an “O” for the origin & “X” for the finish

  22. Stage Chart – Stage Areas Downstage Downstage Left DSL Downstage Right DR Stage Left SL Stage Right SR Centre C Upstage Left UL Upstage Right USR Upstage

  23. Size of Movements • Tiny (wagging finger) • Medium-sized (Stretching arm forwards & making large gesture with finger) • Large-sized (Taking a step up & forwards, reaching forwards with both arms and wagging both fingers in unison • Very large (Stepping into a high hop, taking both arms forwards & high, wagging fingers & landing in a balance or lunge)

  24. Shape of Movements • The body can be rounded • Stretched thin • Twisted • Stretched wide

  25. Gestures • Can be made with the arms & legs & can be • Linear • Curved • Angular • Above, below, infront, behind, or to the side of the body • Curled & rounded

  26. Space Vocabulary • Page 62 of GCSE Dance by Pam Howard • A-Z listing of spatial words
