St Stephens working with The Laban looking at The Olympics in 2012

St Stephens has worked closely with 2 dance artists one from the Laban in South East London and another from East London Dance in Stratford Circus. They worked with us looking at the theme of the olympics in preparation for 2012. Our dance piece focuses on the idea of team work.  The children worked closely together looking at how they could support one another in movement.  They also spent time thinking about success and failure in sporting activities, particulary those associated with the olympics.  They have worked on solo, duet and group choreography. 

They had the opportunity to have photos taken with a professional photographer in a setting of their choice.  The children chose ladywell fields as this is where they have their sports day.  The photos show the children using different parts of their bodies to support one another.
