Follow Your Nose

(15 votes, average 3.80 out of 5)

A movement exercise for the whole group. Move around the room, filling up the space, changing pace, changing direction, being aware of other people but not touching them. Now become aware of your nose. Let your nose lead you around the room. Follow it wherever it goes!

Develop this by focussing on different parts of the body, so that participants begin to discover new ways of moving. Very useful for dance or physical theatre, or simply for discovering movement ideas for characters. Try being led by your stomach, your little toe, your knee, your back and so on.

Learning Objectives: To develop physical movement
To cooperate in group work
Age Group: 6+
Participants: Whole group
Recommended time for activity: 10-15 minutes
