How to Play the Ukulele

This is the second course in ARTS:LIVE’s Dance Your Socks Off series. Now you’ve created a ‘dance vocabulary’ or Alphabet Dance, we’ll take you through a process of inventing transition moves and forming simple choruses to combine all the elements of the dance. The lessons will also support students to consider the role of music and timing. Through the lesson series students have an opportunity to explore different dance styles, exercise their bodies in creative ways and practice spelling at the same time. Remembering all the moves is a workout for both your memory and your body!

Explore the relationship between subject, artist and audience through portraiture. Investigate image, identity and representation by exploring significant portraits in the collection of one of Australia’s most important art museums – the National Gallery of Victoria.
