From Body to Body - A Teaching Workshop

DANCERS NEVER TALK ENOUGH ABOUT TEACHING!   FROM BODY TO BODY – A TEACHING WORKSHOP explores the complexities of teaching physical practice and asks participants to consider their roots and research trajectories as an embodied practitioner within their chosen dance forms.  Artists learn entrepreneurial skills and come away with writings for jobs and promotion and tenure. 

In this workshop, we

• write autobiographies of our dance journeys;

• study educational theories and historical and cultural contexts of our dances;

• learn skills for creating an inclusive community and de-colonizing the syllabus;

• develop a new course, hone an old course;

• workshop sequencing, cueing, evaluative practices. 

• apply various somatic and conditioning approaches to build safe practices;

• Write teaching philosophies, syllabi and cover letters for jobs, funding, marketing.

Provide opportunities for your students/faculty to conduct in-depth research into teaching! College and university programs can offer onboarding workshops for adjuncts or new faculty, or course delivery (1-3 credits) for low/ high residency dance graduate programs! The workshop is flexibly designed…. 1-5- day modules,  online or live, individual coaching and mentoring are also available.
