Workshop | Craft Development

A Somatic Approach to Teaching Dance

with Donna Redlick

Learn how to set up a dance environment that invites students to integrate a body-mind connection and engage in process-based learning. Discover how to guide and cue students so they can dive deeper into their personal sensing experience and take agency for their own embodied learning. Rather than teach dance through a ‘watch and do’ method (outer oriented), learn how to guide students through a ‘sense and experience’ method (inner oriented). This workshop is part theoretical and part practical.

Part 1, Theory / Discussion: What is a somatic approach to teaching dance, and how can we set up a dance environment that supports process-based learning?

Part 2, Practical: Integrating methods and exercises into the classroom to engage students to deepen their sensing experience and body-mind connection and learning to move beyond habitual patterns of movement to find ‘the new’.

Bring notebook and wear clothes you can move in.
For dance teachers and artists (of all genres) who work with, or want to work with, teens, adults, and older adults.
