Anti-government demonstrations began in March of 2011, part of the Arab Spring. But the peaceful protests quickly escalated after the government's violent crackdown, and rebels began fighting back against the regime.
By July, army defectors had loosely organised the Free Syrian Army and many civilian Syrians took up arms to join the opposition. Divisions between secular and Islamist fighters, and between ethnic groups, continue to complicate the politics of the conflict.
This shows that the violence has been going on for quite a few years now, and the publics protests have got more and more violent as time has gone on. We can represent this in our dance to show we are angry, as we are not being listened to. We could also have news articles behind us on the screen while we are dancing, to make people more aware of what is happening.
