Falling About AND Moving About. Green Candle Dance Company.
Published: Falling About and Moving About is a unique resource for dance artists, health care workers and people responsible for older people's activities. Falling About, choreographed by Fergus Early and Jreena Green, with music by Martina Schwarz, is Green Candle Dance Company's entertaining and moving 2007 production which tells the story of Ruby's life through the metaphor of falling - learning to walk as a baby through falling, the moral falls of a teenager, the mature woman falling in love, the physical fall of an older woman - and reveals the power of dance to help recovery from all these falls. Moving About is a teaching resource, showing two model dance workshops for older people, one for seated and one for standing participants, with a detailed commentary on soundtrack and subtitles. All the elements of a safe and effective dance session are clearly demonstrated and analysed in both sample workshops: the warm-up, stretches involving all the main muscle groups, some examples of choreography and a cool-down.
