Movement Studio

The Movement Studio is a learning space accommodating a tiered platform and sufficient chairs for a class group to be seated. This space can be partitioned using curtains and should have an exercise bar and backing mirror.  A number of lighting bars should also be provided.

ROOM RELATIONSHIPS

The Movement Studio should have direct access to the Movement Studio Store, Chair Store and Control Room.

DESIGN INTENT
This Movement Studio provides a space in which individual, small, medium and large groups can participate in movement and performance focussed independent learning experiences and learning and social support activities. Learning activities will generally include dance and drama activities but the area can be used for other focussed learning sessions.  A wall length mirror, an exercise bar, overhead lighting and curtains tracks, and vertical display areas enable the teacher to plan a variety of movement activities to be conducted simultaneously.  This Movement Studio is suitable for explicitly teach/demonstrate/present and rehearse/perform activities.  
 
FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES  
Reducing the number of desks and chairs and using different furniture and fittings to create alternative learning settings will increase room use for more diverse learning processes including student meetings, performances, and creative and investigative learning activities. The room also lends to use as an afterschool activity space and Special Needs physical therapy area. Access to an outdoor covered area would allow some flexibility in learning activity options and group planning.
