DANCE IN SCHOOL - SOFT SKILLS IN DANCE

Advance booking starts in February, but interested teachers can register now by emailing tanzplan2[at]kampnagel.de.

This training series for teachers focuses on the connection between dance practice and the development of soft skills. Playful approaches from the online guidebook Soft Skills in Dance form the basis. Perception and design exercises introduce creative processes and are supplemented with tasks to raise awareness of soft skills. Which social and communicative skills do students develop while dancing? How do they practise the ability to adapt and concentrate, consideration or the appreciation of differences in group improvisations? Which soft skills are helpful for teachers to direct attention and reflect?

Participants learn about dance and choreographic working methods and expand their knowledge of the importance of soft skills in artistic processes in a school context. On the last day, they will present their results in an internal show in the K3 studio.

Especially for teachers who already work with dance and movement in a school context

The training series can only be attended in sequence

One ticket is valid for the entire training series and must be shown at the first appointment.

Patricia Carolin Mai

Patricia Carolin Mai produces stage pieces as a dancer and choreographer with production locations at Kampnagel and at K3 - Hamburg, at LOFFT - DAS THEATER Leipzig and at Ringlokschuppen Mülheim an der Ruhr. The focus of her choreographic work is the investigation of the body as a central repository of memories. 2016 - 2019 she developed her trilogy on "bodies in extreme states" with the pieces Ready to Snap (2016), Balagan Body (2018) & HAMONIM (2019). In summer 2019, she accepted Ninety9 Art Company's invitation to Seoul in Korea to work in GAL-GAL on women's self-empowerment in Korean society. For this work she was awarded the "International Choregraphy Award Goyang 2020". In 2020, she explored the limits of her physical performance in the 12-month solo self-experiment KONTROL, questioning cultural normalisations of body and gender. She choreographed ASTERISM (2021) and ANIMA (2022) by multimedia composer Alexander Schubert, as well as the group piece OR (2022) for the Company of the Leipzig Dance Theatre. For the years 2020 - 2023 Patricia Carolin Mai has received conceptual funding from the City of Hamburg and continues with WAHN, UND SO KAMEN WIR ZUSAMMEN and RAUSCH.
