Imagine you are standing inside an invisible, magical bubble that surrounds your whole body. If you stretch your arms high and wide, can your fingertips touch the edges without popping it?
This safe area right around you is called your personal space.
πInteractive diagram
When you freeze your feet in place and stretch up high, down low, or out wide, you are exploring your personal bubble.
What happens when your bubble wants to travel across the whole room?
Shared Space
The entire room where everyone moves and plays together is called shared space.
Actors use their eyes and ears to travel along curvy pathways so their bubbles never bump into other friends.

How can music and sound tell your body how fast or slow to travel through this space?
Moving with the Rhythm
A rhythm is a steady, repeating beatβjust like your own heartbeat or the tick of a clock.
When the drum plays a slow beat (BOOM... BOOM...), you can take giant, heavy steps across the shared space like a stomping giant.
