Teen Dances of the 1950s
Why did dance change in the 1950's? swing diverging into different styles -the rebelliousness of the time — teens didn't want to dance like their parents who were actively disapproving of their lifestyle, so they invented a wide range of step and style replacements.

We are going to do a design task - we have discussed witches and looked at some scenes of the witches from Macbeth. The context is: "We are doing a Shakespeare Festival performance with the  2 witches scenes from "Macbeth", [1:1, 4:1] the witches summon a range of evil creatures from the dirty, swirling mist around them. We want the audience to feel that the witches have opened a portal to the supernatural world. The time period is distorted and creatures from past and future times appear. The mood is threatening, malevolent. The witches speak in the words of Shakespeare and evoke a sense of frenetic ritual." If you want to do the NCEA task you need to do 2 designs.
