COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed for people with or without dance training, who want to teach dance in arts, P.E.

classroom contexts, or integrate movement education within a wider professional community. In this

experiential class students will develop an understanding of the movement concepts (action, space, time,

force, and relationship), which are the framework for making and teaching dance. This course will

explore dance as a non verbal and artistic language, and students will be introduced to the creative

process involved when using and teaching dance as an expressive art form. Opportunity will be given

to utilize the art of improvisation as a way of discovering movement language. Opportunity will be

given to incorporate dance movement in the various areas of curriculum, as well as the centrality of

movement to embodied curricular learning. Time will be given to explore movement, create and

perform, as well as observe and take part in the work of others.
