Professional Learning for Teachers

For experienced dance teachers:

We can give you fresh ideas for improvisation stimulus and choreographic tasks to take away with you and use in your school.

These can be based around:

• Pure movement ideas
• Characterisation
• Responding to abstract or literal stimulus
• Communicating abstract ideas – choreographic intent

For generalist teachers:

Teachers who have never had any dance experience often assume they do not have the skills or ability to integrate dance into their teaching practise. We don’t agree with this at all! It only takes a few key skills to introduce a creative dance process – you don’t need to be able to dance yourself.

We can give generalist teachers the practical skills and resources to be able to deliver elements of the Dance syllabus (as per the Western Australian Curriculum – The Arts) in their own classroom, and be able to integrate movement ideas into their other subject areas.
