The flow of the pose!

I was amazed at our last session and all the great balancing poses that Professor Marie Murphy encouraged us to try. I had photographed the children and printed the images then cut them out to create simple shape silhouettes. As well as these poses I used some of the balancing tests we tried on my first visit to meet the class back in October. Then the children tried balancing with friends together…

My pictures and cut outs were cut short so needed me to fill in the parts of missing bodies… part of heads etc so these were scribbled in in pencil to make the shape.

The cut out shapes are isolated on a plain background to see it clearly.

Our task today was to OBSERVE the shapes of the poses and look for lines of balance… So we used Mrs Hughes green broomstick to hold up against the pose to see how straight and upright the person stood or to see what angles their bodies made…
