Make a Move - Professional Learning for Teachers
MAKE A MOVE is a graduated and holistic professional learning program for primary and secondary teachers through experiential learning of creative choreographic process.
Through movement and imagination, we experience and discover more about ourselves and the world in which we live. Creative learning develops confident, expressive and socially adept students who can problem solve, collaborate, think and communicate. This is increasingly important in this age of innovation.
Teaching educative and engaging dance will develop these skills and attributes as well as increasing health, well-being, and achieve dance outcomes in line with the Australian Curriculum - The Arts.
Our MAKE A MOVE program integrates the learning activities of teachers and students, allowing an engagement in dance as education, with a depth of ideas and creativity, enabling individual expression, much more than learning a routine.
Through the seminar and in school workshop, teachers work alongside professional dance artists allowing action learning, support and evaluation. MAKE A MOVE emphasises links between dance and other subjects, inquiry areas or cross curricular priorities (eg. science or sustainability and dance), maximising time, connecting ideas and allowing for a diversity of students’ learning.
The program includes three activities:
SEMINAR: Facilitating choreographic process in dance education. Teachers engage in an intensive theory and practice session with dance artists and peers, involving development of skills, knowledge and confidence in dance education and creative process.
IN SCHOOL WORKSHOP: Teachers are supported by dance artists in the classroom in the delivery of dance skills and creative process. Content and creative tasks presented in the workshop link to our Quantum Leap and Chaos performances inviting students and teachers to be inspired and respond creatively to a choreographic process that they witness as a finished performance.
ATTENDANCE AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE: Teachers, preferably with their class/students attend a QL2 performance.
The seminar program is a TQI accredited (5hrs) other hours contribute to your teacher identified PL hours.
YOUR INVESTMENT: $300 per teacher
