Description
This module will focus on the relationship between embodiment, drama education and the arts. The strategies and methodologies used will focus initially on developing an embodied and holistic awareness in the person of the student teacher, which will have implications not only for approaches to curriculum, but also for his/her quality of presence, relationship and communication in the classroom. Drawing on the field of somatic movement education, the sessions will initially focus on explorations in movement and the senses. As the weeks progress, participants will observe the impact of these explorations in pedagogical or performative applications.
