In 5th Grade at Westland we had our "Skin & Bones" final creation and Performance. We applied our skills we learned last class about creating dances with our partners using locomotor actions, spatial relationships, and "SPICE."

We also added the element of lighting to create a spooky performance atmosphere. The students went through the process of trial and error with both composing the piece and lighting it as a group.
