0:00:03.550,0:00:05.530
Now, we'll begin creating our rock dance,

0:00:05.530,0:00:09.780
and this first lesson focuses[br]on sedimentary rock and fossils.

0:00:09.780,0:00:12.640
Do you know anything about[br]sedimentary rock? Yes?

0:00:12.640,0:00:13.910
Discuss with the students

0:00:13.910,0:00:16.685
the different characteristics[br]and qualities they might see

0:00:16.685,0:00:18.250
in sediment and in sedimentary rock.

0:00:18.250,0:00:19.590
(instructor) That's the kind of rock

0:00:19.590,0:00:23.200
where we find that dinosaur bones[br]have been preserved,

0:00:23.200,0:00:26.130
and plants, and all sorts[br]of bugs and animals

0:00:26.130,0:00:27.910
are preserved in sedimentary rocks.

0:00:27.910,0:00:31.050
The dance begins with the students[br]creating a fossil pose.

0:00:31.050,0:00:33.810
Discuss with them the different things[br]that they might see as fossils--

0:00:33.810,0:00:37.500
plants or animals-- and how their body[br]might create the shapes

0:00:37.500,0:00:39.890
of those plants and animals in the rock.

0:00:39.890,0:00:41.250
Plant your feet on the floor,

0:00:41.250,0:00:45.140
and I want you to make[br]some kind of fossil shape.

0:00:45.140,0:00:47.420
So you could be a dinosaur bone.

0:00:48.080,0:00:50.670
You could be a grasshopper.

0:00:51.300,0:00:53.820
Your fossil pose can be any kind[br]of shape you want.

0:00:53.820,0:00:54.830
Give it a try.

0:00:54.830,0:00:59.270
Now we're going to take our fossil poses[br]and crumble them down to the floor,

0:00:59.270,0:01:02.320
and we're going to use that,[br]choosing four body parts to isolate.

0:01:02.320,0:01:03.640
One part's going to crumble.

0:01:03.640,0:01:06.650
Sedimentary rock.

0:01:06.650,0:01:09.740
All right, Julio, you try.[br]Sedimentary rock. (laughter)

0:01:09.740,0:01:11.160
Oh, his nose fell off, good.

0:01:11.160,0:01:14.250
Encourage the students[br]to be adventurous in their choices.

0:01:14.250,0:01:16.710
Ask them to try[br]using different body parts,

0:01:16.710,0:01:19.240
crumbling them in a variety of directions.

0:01:19.690,0:01:23.385
<i>And the two things[br]I wanted to see in that activity</i>

0:01:23.385,0:01:27.830
<i>were that the students[br]could isolate a body part</i>

0:01:27.830,0:01:29.510
<i>but also that they could[br]move it rhythmically.</i>

0:01:29.510,0:01:31.140
This is what's going to happen.

0:01:31.140,0:01:34.360
We have to do four sets of crumbling.

0:01:34.360,0:01:36.810
You have to pick four different[br]body parts to crumble,

0:01:36.810,0:01:40.800
and I want to be able to tell each time[br]which body part crumbles.

0:01:40.800,0:01:43.280
Here we go, ready, fossil pose.

0:01:43.280,0:01:47.360
5, 6, 5, 6, ready, go.

0:01:47.360,0:01:49.840
Sedimentary rock.

0:01:50.820,0:01:53.330
Sedimentary rock.

0:01:54.130,0:01:57.790
Sedimentary rock,[br]last one, get all the way down.

0:01:57.790,0:02:00.580
Sedimentary rock.

0:02:00.580,0:02:03.090
Awesome, that was so great.[br]Okay, stand up.

0:02:03.090,0:02:05.950
Now practice this section[br]of the dance with the music,

0:02:05.950,0:02:08.700
either in small groups[br]or as a whole class.

0:02:08.700,0:02:12.350
We're going to watch these guys[br]do their sedimentary rock,

0:02:12.350,0:02:15.490
and I want you to see[br]if they are very clear

0:02:16.520,0:02:18.835
what body part is crumbling

0:02:18.835,0:02:21.740
and also that it's crumbly, right?

0:02:21.740,0:02:25.240
That it's crumbling[br]and tumbling its way down.

0:02:25.240,0:02:28.440
Students should be able to both isolate[br]their crumbling body part

0:02:28.440,0:02:30.310
from the rest of their still pose

0:02:30.310,0:02:35.520
and accurately represent their sedimentary[br]rock rhythm in their body.

0:02:35.520,0:02:37.640
All right, hold still, here we go.

0:02:37.760,0:02:40.100
♪ (music) ♪

0:02:53.700,0:02:55.360
(instructor) Excellent.

0:02:55.360,0:02:57.860
Now that we've practiced this section[br]of the routine with the music,

0:02:57.860,0:02:59.255
take a moment with the students

0:02:59.255,0:03:01.350
to reflect on how they might make[br]their movements

0:03:01.350,0:03:03.470
more dynamic or more clear.

0:03:03.470,0:03:06.450
So what about the quality[br]of their movement?

0:03:06.450,0:03:08.240
Did it look...

0:03:08.250,0:03:10.590
Could you tell what body part[br]they were trying to use?

0:03:10.590,0:03:13.590
I think [Julio] was moving[br]his neck or his back.

0:03:13.590,0:03:15.570
Okay. Back is a good one.

0:03:15.570,0:03:18.100
That's a tricky one to crumble.

0:03:18.100,0:03:19.460
Julio, could you try that for me?

0:03:19.460,0:03:21.300
Stand up and make your pose.

0:03:21.300,0:03:24.700
And can you try crumbling your back?

0:03:25.701,0:03:29.871
What's interesting is that[br]when we start to build the dance,

0:03:29.871,0:03:31.991
you'll find that almost every movement

0:03:31.991,0:03:35.981
involves some elements of dance[br]if not many elements of dance.

0:03:35.981,0:03:38.471
We talked about moving from high to low.

0:03:38.471,0:03:41.621
We talked about the specific[br]energy of crumbling,

0:03:41.621,0:03:46.281
and we talked about our physical self[br]and our place in space.
