Dance is Home #13- I Spy

Finding time for games, entertainment while we #shelterinplace

In your house:

1. Choose three objects in a room.
2. Playing the childhood I spy game, create a short phrase that represents the phrase “I spy with my little eye”.
3. Create a phrase that represents the first letter of each object, consider the curves and angles of the letters. Be clear with the beginning, middle and end.
4. Start with the I spy phrase and return to it after each letter movement. 

Let’s make a playful dance using the game “I Spy'' as inspiration. I Spy is a guessing game. One player chooses an object within sight and announces to the other players that "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with...", naming the first letter of the object. Other players attempt to guess this object.

To give the dance structure, use the “I Spy” movement as the theme, returning after each of the letter movements. Perform the dance for someone in your house and see if they can figure out what objects you choose. It could be the next family tradition! Use any of the suggestions below to expand on this mini-dance. Remember this can be as simple or complex as you want. It’s yours to make. Take your time and play!

Can you:

• Expand on the letters using different tempos, sizes, repetitions, and inversions. 
• Add movement to the letter phrase that offers hints to the objects.
• Invite someone into the room to play the game. Let them ask questions and create movements for “yes” and “no”. 

• Repeat, condense, drift, turn.

Today’s focus: FORM: RONDO.
Happy dance making!!
