Let’s spend half a day together and share your challenges\, questions\, strategies\, ideas\, and resources for teaching elementary and middle school theater! 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.

SUMMARY:VIEWPOINTS TRAINING
DESCRIPTION:Join Mary Harding\, Dance Education Specialist\, on Tuesdays in July as we are introduced to ViewPoints and movement prompts based on children’s literature! \nOn Tuesday\, July 22 we will emphasize ViewPoints\, a movement-based practice that uses six elements – space\, shape\, time\, emotion\, movement\, and story – to create and analyze performance\, focusing on the materiality of the body and the creative use of space. We will also explore multiple variations for movement prompts. \nOn Tuesday\, July 29 will explore a new iteration of a Name Dance\, a session called “We Come from Stardust – Story\, Self\, and Dance.” How many times have you taught a “Name Dance” to your students? How has it changed over time? My “Name Dance” has shifted\, depending on purpose and intention. This session demonstrates my most recent iteration with my high school students. \nUsing the children’s book\, “Where We Come From”\, written by four Minnesota authors\, including Diane Wilson\, we will explore creating dances based on self\, place\, family\, and memory. This children’s book proposes that “We come from stardust. We come from place\, language\, and spirit.” The session explores the creative process for this curriculum\, including writing and movement prompts based on the book and strategies for reflection and revision. \nWe will engage in reflective discussions on the shifts in our practice. This session will give us a chance to walk through one teacher’s experience and take the age old “Name Dance” into our current world. \nThe sessions will be tailored to the needs of the participants. Sign up for as many sessions as you want. These topics are deep and can be visited multiple times. \nIN-PERSON SESSIONS\nTuesday\, July 22- ViewPoints\nTuesday\, July 29- We Come from Stardust – Story\, Self\, and Dance \nREGISTRATION HERE \nTIME: 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \nCOST: Free \nLOCATION:\nPerpich High School Dance Studio\n6125 Olson Memorial Hwy\nGolden Valley\, MN 55422 \nQuestions?
