SUMMARY:2025 MINNESOTA DANCE SUMMIT
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the 2025 Minnesota Dance Summit hosted by Perpich Center for Arts Education! \nREGISTRATION LINK\nRegistration Due by January 20\, 2025 \nBig Ideas through Big Art\nFacilitated by Cleo Mack \nDATE AND TIME: \nSaturday\, February 1st from 8:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. \n\n*Please note that we will provide participants with lunch. We ask that you list your dietary restrictions in the registration form. Thank you! \nABOUT THE SUMMIT: How do we encourage young dancers to engage in intellectual and artistic pursuit? How do you access students’ unique creative voices? How do you build students’ confidence as learners? How do we encourage artistic ambition? How do we create spaces that value the contributions of each and every student? \nThis workshop offers a clear approach for exploring complex concepts through art by creating large scale work on students in both the private and K-12 sectors of education through a student centered and cross-curricular perspective. Shifting our perspective to creating large scale work allows for more investigative time for complicated subject matter\, idea formation\, creative process\, and technical mastery. Through a student centered model\, our students are the innovators of concept\, choreography\, and progression of the presentation/performance. This format enables the learner to tackle big concepts through the vehicle of art. Approaching dance performances with a cross-curricular mindset allows students to research historical perspectives\, scientific phenomena\, literature and current societal paradigms through mind and body learning which\, in turn\, develops a deeper understanding of the topic. \nParticipants will explore different examples of these curriculum ideas\, learn a format for big ideas/big art\, explore and conceive their own curriculum idea that works in their setting\, learn culturally responsive strategies that value each student\, see the strengths of this form for both student buy in and advocacy for dance and cross curricular collaborations. \nLEARNING GOALS: \n\nBy the end of the this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nArticulate multiple ideas\, definitions and purposes of “Big Idea” work.\nDevelop methods to allow students to be integral in the development of the concept from the infancy of the project\, to create the movement language\, develop characters\, and help organize the overarching structure of the work.\nEstablish/map out at least one Big Idea to take to the students\, fellow teachers and administration to support student agency\, student buy in and advocacy for your program.\n\nLOCATION:\nPerpich Center for Arts Education – Dance Studio\n6125 Olson Memorial Hwy\, Golden Valley\, MN  55422 \nREGISTRATION FEE: FREE \nCLOCK HOURS\nYou will receive 6 Professional Development clock hours for attending the entire Summit. If you cannot attend the entire Summit\, you will receive clock hours for the portions of the workshop you attend. \nQuestions or comments?

His first book\, Following My Spirit Home\, is a collection of paintings and stories from his first year back in Minnesota after living on the East Coast. His artwork is held in private collections in the United States and abroad and in public installations in the Chik Wauk Museum and Nature Center\, Voyageur National Park\, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee\, and the communities of Duluth and Grand Marais. Sam has received grant awards from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, Arrowhead Regional Arts Council\, Northland Foundation Maada’ookiing\, and Duluth Superior Community Foundation. \nThe first 40 people attending this event will receive a copy of How the Birds Got their Songs (2024) by Travis Zimmerman\, illustrated by Sam Zimmerman. \nDETAILS: \n\nThere is no cost to attend the Native Authors series.\nLight snacks will be provided.\nA clock hours form will be available following the session.\nShortly after February 4\, a video recording of the interview will be posted on the Perpich Center’s Native Authors & Artists webpage.

This session will build on the knowledge and resources shared and built at last summer’s roundtable\, and you’re welcome to join whether you are returning or new to this circle! \nThis day is FOR you and will be largely shaped BY you! It is about sharing and connecting with one another\, and building on the collective wisdom in the room. As such\, in the registration form\, please be sure to include the topics\, questions\, and challenges you’d like to tackle\, and note the theater game/exercise and resource(s) you like to share! Then I’ll work to synthesize this info to structure the day and the conversations accordingly! \nLunch will be included! \n\nThis event is hosted by the Perpich Center for Arts Education Professional Development and Resource Programs team\, and is FREE for participants.
