A Song of the Woods
by Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr.
"My leaves are turning crimson," the giant oak tree said,
"It's almost time these children should seek their winter's bed,
But how they still cling to me and gleam with crimson hue,
They truly are more lovely than cirrus clouds of blue.
"And now throughout the forest - list! hear their voices ring,
But 'tis in tones of sadness and sighing they now sing -
'Alas! 'tis gone, fair summer, and winter's reign is near,
He cruelly strips the forest of all her summer cheer
By killing all her lovely leaves and likewise flowers gay
And driving all her fairy folk to homes of far away.'"

We were focusing on time and energy in our dances
WALT: explore time and energy in dance
We will know we have achieved this when we...
Use the movement of our bodies which is soft and gentle
Use the speed of our bodies which is slow and peaceful
Today we focused on space!

Great reflection Dallas. All four of you used excellent layering and appropriate energy in you dance. The result was a very effective dance showing autumn.

Why did you choose that Autumn poem and why did you choose to do your dance that way to go with the poem?
