                                  2.3       Recommending 3 marks

POSSIBLE ANSWERS: 
2.1 Candidates can list any THREE. They may add other symptoms that  have not been included in the list below. 

• Physical (muscle tension/stiffness, cramps, aches and pains, frequent  colds, rapid heartbeats) 
• Mental (moody, irritable, unhappy, lonely) 
• Lack of sleep or sleeping too much 
• Loss of appetite or eating too much 
• Strained relationships (family, friends, peer pressure)

• Any other suitable answers. (4)

2.3 Candidates should recommend and explain THREE relaxation  techniques. Do not award marks if candidates only name a technique  without explaining it. 

• To relax and reduce muscle tension: lie on the floor and feel  comfortable, imagine a peaceful setting and then focus on controlled,  relaxing breathing, slowing your heart rate, or feeling different physical  sensations, such as relaxing each arm or leg one by one. 
• Focus on slowly tensing and then relaxing each muscle group: this  helps you focus on the difference between muscle tension and relaxation.  Start by tensing and relaxing the muscles in your toes and then slowly  working your way up to your neck and head. You can also start with your  head and neck and work down to your toes. Tense your muscles for at  least five seconds and then relax for 10 seconds, and repeat. 
• Close eyes and visualise taking a journey to a peaceful, calming  place or situation. Choose that place, try to use as many senses as you  can, including smell, sight, sound and touch. Imagine relaxing on a hot day  in a beautiful forest with soft grass and high trees, think about such things  as the smell of the trees, the sound of the wind, the coolness of the grass  and the sunrays through the leaves. Calming the mind will release the  tension in the body. 
• Petting a dog or cuddling an animal, talking to a friend about good  things or hugging a friend is also ways to reduce your stress levels and  calm the senses. 
• Apply relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, stretching and  swinging types of movements. This will release the tension in the  muscles. 
• A comfortable and well-ventilated environment with as little noise as  possible and subdued lighting will ensure relaxation. 
• Self-massage when your muscles are tensed. Rub or squeeze the  muscles of your shoulders and neck to release muscular tension. 
• Any other suitable answer. (3) [10]

7.2
7.2.1 Movement vocabulary and symbolism: 

• The three stages of grief are portrayed through movement. 
• Her use of contraction and release are evident throughout the  work. 
• The dancer would reflect her inner thoughts through  movements of the body as in angular, explosive and stylised  gestures. The harsh and angular movements showed the  feelings of grief and despair which are never pretty. 
• Every sharp angular movement that the dancer makes is a  manifestation of the terrible war being waged within her. 
• Rocking stiffly from side to side, she tugs, pulls and pushes at  the confining fabric with her hands, elbows, knees and  shoulders to express her emotions which reflect her inner  thoughts through the movements of the body. 
• The use of deep contractions shows her anguish and pain. 
• The only parts of her body showing are her hands, feet and  face. These body parts are used effectively to show the pain  and emotion she is going through – many of the movements are  very ugly, e.g. the use of flexed and sickled feet – symbolising  the fact that grief is not pretty.  
• The reaching arm movements convey the feeling the dancer is  either reaching for help or as she looks up, asking for spiritual  help.  
• All the movements remain rooted to the bench – she never  leaves it. This symbolises the fact that she cannot escape from  her grief and has to remain in this situation until she has  resolved it.  
• Any other suitable answer. (8)

7.2.2 Production elements: 
Costume: 

• The dancer is dressed in a tube of purple stretch jersey fabric,  symbolic of her own body trapped within her grief. 
• Only her face, hands and feet are seen.

• The costume also allows the dancer to pull, tug and push the  confining fabric creating different visual lines and angles. • Any other suitable answers. 

Set design/props: 

• The only prop is a wooden bench- this prop is central to the  whole dance. 
• Any other suitable answers. 

Lighting: 

• The stage is darkly lit except for a single white spot-light above  the dancer. 
• The white light creates a harsh and unforgiving feeling placing  emphasis on reality. 
• Any other suitable answers. (4) 

7.3 How the music enhanced the theme: 

• This is an anguished classical piano piece. 
• The score plays a vital part in setting the atmosphere. 
• It follows the three stages of grief performed by the dancer.

Stage 1: 

• As the dancer begins the chords are gentle-symbolic of disbelief.

Stage 2: 

• The chords become more dissonant (harsh) as the dancer fights against  reality. 
• It builds up to the climax in which the dancer has to face reality and fight  the war within herself. 

Stage 3: 

• The music eventually subsides as she has to deal with her grief on her  own. 
• Any other suitable answers. (5)

• While working and teaching she began experimenting with contemporary  dance forms. She rejected classical ballet and its traditional steps and  focused on natural motion and what the body could do based on its  structure. 
• She established what is call the 'percussive movements' and the principle  of contraction and release.

• He spoke to his grandmother so that she could ask for permission from the  ancestors to do certain ritual dance aspects in his pieces. 
• Mantsoe started dancing at a young age and was part of a dance group  called The Joy Dancers. His dance group often copied the dance styles of  people like Michael Jackson but tried to put their own street style to it.  
• This had a great influence on his cross-genre choreography. 
• He was also part of 2 youth groups called Street Dance and the Rathabile  Youth Club. 
• Mantsoe auditioned for and was accepted into Moving into Dance  company run by Sylvia Glasser. He started dancing professionally in  1989/90.

• Any other suitable answers. (9)

8.2.1 Movement vocabulary and symbolism: 

• The movements in this piece mimic those of birds as the dancer  is taken over by the spirit of the bird. 
• Bent joints (arms, legs and body) are used and this way of  carrying the body reminds us of the shape of birds and how they  move.  
• There are very few straight lines in nature and the movements  reflect that. 
• The head movements are sharp and quick like a bird. 
• The shoulders are used with small but sharp movements or  rolls.  
• The arms are used as wings which are often moving like that of  a bird flying. 
• The fingers are often spread out like feathers. 
• Jumps are done with bent legs and flexed feet reminding us of  the awkward hops and leaps of birds. 
• The restlessness of the movements is punctuated by moments  of stillness, mimicking the birds as they are on the lookout for  danger. 
• Any other suitable answers. (8) 

8.2.2 Production elements: 
Costumes: 

• The male dancers wear baggy calf-length pants with a bird like  design on.  
• The females wear a short skirt and a bikini-like top made out of  the same fabric as the males. 
• Both male and females are barefoot. 
• The fabric of the costume creates a camouflaged look. This  rings true to what birds do in nature.  
• Any other suitable answers. 

Set design: 

• The stage is bare – allowing the audience to place this dance  work in their own imagined environment. 

Lighting: 

• The use of dark blue light that interchanges with a more natural  bright light.  
• A small amount of white light is used from the front-of-house  lights to make the faces more visible.  
• The blue lights are used to symbolise the early morning before  sunrise.  
• The blue light is also used when a moment of danger  approaches. 
• This blue light is used again at the end to symbolise the night  time and the end of the piece. 
• The majority of the dance piece is done in a soft yellow (or even  white) light.  
• This symbolises daylight and enhances the idea of watching  birds in their natural habitat. 
• Any other suitable answers. (4)

8.3 How the music enhanced the theme: 

• The music was composed by Gabrielle Roth. 
• She was well known for her ability to heal the soul through the use of her  music and this ties in well with the spirituality of the dance work. 
• This particular piece of music focuses a lot on drumming with moments of  quietness in between. 
• It creates an atmosphere of being surrounded by nature. 
• The moments of quietness in the music compliments and mimics the  dance movements beautifully to support the idea of how birds  move/possible danger. 
• The music builds in intensity throughout the dance work and this supports  the movements as more dancers (birds) join in the action. 
• It then calms down and brings the audience back to a more focused state  as we are left with only a single dancer (bird) onstage. 
• The composed track is interlinked with moments of no music. This is when  you can hear the dancers whistle like birds. The fact that they produce the  sound themselves link with the idea of the spirit of the bird entering the  human body. 
• These whistling moments are used very well to start and finish the dance  work thus creating a satisfying ending to the dance. 
• Any other suitable answers. (5) 

8.4 Contributions: 

• Developing and nurturing pride in our African roots 
• Bring heritage and cultural beliefs into the public domain – educating  people and dancers/choreographers to draw from their own background  for inspiration. 
• Nurturing young choreographers to explore further the use of cultural  heritage/identity in their works. 
• Many young choreographers are more confident to use elements from  their culture as it can be regarded as disrespectful if not done correctly. 
• Any other suitable answers. (4) [30]
