Join Us for a Free Webinar: Moving Together: Advocacy and Adaptation for Dance and Students with Disabilities

Presented By:  Elizabeth Cotter, Kathleen Dominiak Treasure, Abigail Agresta-Stratton

All students, including those with developmental disabilities, deserve access to rigorous and in-depth dance experiences, including technique and dance making. We must find the appropriate adaptations to allow for ample participation by our students cognitive and intellectual disabilities. We must advocate for the needs of our students as each student is different and deserves the necessary support. We will provide tools to guide you in your journey to bring dance to every student including resources, tips, lessons, and Google Slides Shows. This webinar will be helpful for those dance educators with existing programs that would like to be reinvigorated, as well as those just starting that need support with adaptations, lesson planning, and effective instruction while honoring artistry.

Working with Consent, Boundaries, and Needs in the Dance Studio

Presented By: Nicole Perry

How do we, as dance educators, facilitate conversations around consent, boundaries, and needs in the dance studio that honor the bodily autonomy of dancers AND encourage creative risk-taking? 

Join Intimacy Direction in Dance co-founder, and author of Care-full Creativity in Theatre and Dance Education: Consent-Forward, Trauma-Informed, Psychologically Safe Movement Pedagogy, Nicole Perry for practical tools and conversations around consent (which goes far beyond touch) and creativity. Nicole is an award-winning intimacy professional and choreographer, as well as a dance and movement educator, passionate about supporting other teachers as they create their own pedagogies of care. This webinar offers a practical tool to help students as discomfort v. unsafe, a template for boundary conversations, and a discussion on when an Intimacy Professional can support the creative process in a way that benefits both the dancers and the choreographer.
