Dance Workshops - Movement classes with curriculum goals in mind. Students will use dance as an investigative tool and platform to develop creative thinking. As we practice basic steps and use everyday movements with awareness, students develop crucial reflective skills. Sharing ideas means listening and being heard.
Mixed Media – This class is designed to have students think and learn like artists. A balance of research and using existing knowledge helps students navigate personal awareness in a creative and cultural context of inclusion. Ideas are welcomed as we collaborate on presenting ideas through the visual, performing and media arts.
Arts Integration - Inquiry based learning allows students to engage with curriculum and identifies diverse learners in the classroom community. As a teaching artist, I provide a community based process in close collaboration with teachers. We can approach the arts as a lens to support a flexible and active learning environment while we
work with diverse subjects.
Dance is social, cultural and artistic expression. Each participant is valued and celebrated as unique experiences are shared.
Theatre creates an artistic framework in which to hang ideas. Stories can be shared and understood.
Dance art is time based. Sound, space and materials interact in organized compositions. Shared experiences strengthen community.
