DANCE IN SCHOOL - BASICS AND METHODS

Our teacher training series goes into the next round! Four local and international choreographers, experienced in working with schools, will offer a practical insight into their artistic work to anyone who wants to get started working with dance in schools.

The choreographers will present their artistic practices on two separate days, linking them to choreographic methods and working with participants to create links, for example to curriculum topics, in order to integrate contemporary dance into your teaching.
