Through dance and creative movement both children and adults can develop socially, emotionally, cognitively and physically. “Creative Movement” is a general term implying many types of movement where there is no “right” or “wrong” answers to the questions posed for solving. Through this course educators will learn and become proficient in understanding Modern and Post-Modern dance techniques to approach the four elements of movement: space, time, effort and force. The compositional tools approached in the course will allow the student to understand how to use improvisation and creative methods to generate original dances, through rules and mental models to make sense of their own experiences.
