Dancehall Choreography (Aya)

Although this type of dance form and a lot of other types may seem discriminatory to some, but in my learning of dance, I have come to realise that any kind of movement you express with dance will always be an art form and a way to let go of oneself! My goal though this activity is to reawaken that creavity and movement in my life and hopefully other lives though the opportunity given by CAS.

School Trip 2015-2015 CORSICA

GYM TIME AT AqUaBoUlEvArD

After having completed the graffiti project, we finally decided to go for a huge and seemingly healthy change to to GYM and FITNESS!! 
So we took off for the gym in the afternoon (for 2 hours from 4-6) and trained ourselves to become fitter and more active. 
Some of us took up the 20 minute running challenge without stopping and then went off to join an ongoing class of STEP DANCE, which if I daresay was not as easy as we thought it would be! But we still had a lot of fun and our trainer was just amazing! Finally we cooled down by doing a few planks and body stretches.

The GRAFFITI Project

The Graffiti Project was an enjoyable and creative experience for everyone but especially for me because although I am very much fond of different varieties of art, I have never been exposed to the world of graffiti or graffiti artists. Due to this project I found out quite a lot about this form of art and what it represents; the voice of rebels and people who want to speak to the world and pass on an important message without really speaking but demonstrating everything through this form of art.

As an activity we exhibited our own Graffiti demonstrations and decided to work in groups. Sally, my friend, and I came up with a really amazing idea about producing a work of 3D-art that reflects the media, propaganda, people, corruption and destruction of our world and society in our day, with a single, pure white tree of hope at the bottom but in the centre of our Earth.

This project was a very interesting and knowledgeable  creativity activity for CAS and obviously extremely entertaining and slightly different from what we had done before in art or CAS!!

Our dance group's very FIRST performance. Although, there might be a lot of mistakes but this performance will always be really special as this was the first dance challenge we, as a team, faced together.

CA hours completed (1 hour / week)

I have a history with instruments, specifically anything that looks like a Piano. Although I always took lessons for Piano out of my love for it, i never seemed to have gotten the chance to completely carry it out. This year, CAS gave me the opportunity to tune into my hobby again and so once more I took up the challenge of learning Piano and intend on keeping it that way. 

Learning Piano is helping me expand my knowledge of music and composition and theory of the music, which I can very much relate to creativity. I t could also be considered part of action since you are training your hands and arm muscles in a certain way and using your mental capacity and challenging it to remember various things at once. Learning this instrument has also developed my concentration, (more) patience and memory. It lets me express myself (which I am guessing any form of music does for different people) and creates an atmosphere of calm and peace.

 My  goal in learning this instrument is to try and master it and to accomplish this challenge I am going to give the ABRSM examination for Piano (November 2014/ June 2015) and hope to achieve good grades.
