This term, Year 8 pupils are focusing on the concept of trust as a foundation for their practical work in dance. Developing trust is essential as they begin to explore Swansong by Christopher Bruce—a professional repertoire piece that powerfully explores relationships through contact work and lifts.

Through a series of carefully structured tasks, including counter balances and trust falls, pupils have made impressive progress in building and demonstrating trust with their peers. This focus not only supports their physical development and safety but also enhances their understanding of interpersonal dynamics within performance.
