Pop Lecture: Dance Education in/and the Post-Modern Isabel Marques Presented by Joy Merrifield and Samantha Thornhill Prepared by: Dr. Kay Picart
Aims • To examine the barrier between dance and this postmodern society, as discerned by Marques • To introduce important theorists who have greatly influenced dance education • To distinguish the difference between a discipline based and a context based dance education • To discuss the dance teacher’s role and responsibility in the classroom when implementingcontext-based dance education
Marques’ Question Is: “Do we really have to choose between becoming a teacher or a dancer?” (173)
See if you can answer this:Why is dance education so far removed from society?
A term you BETTER know • Postmodernism:
Meet Rudolf Laban Meet Rudolf Laban
Express Yourself! What do you think Laban meant by “Universality of Movement”?
Discussion Question: Our concern Is: • Freire designed his theories to rethink the educational system in oppressed and/or multicultural societies such as Brazil. • Therefore, how can his theories possibly apply to educators/educatees of privilege?
Discussion Question(if you didn’tread, then guess!) What is the difference between a context-based dance education and a discipline-based dance education?
Concluding Question How can Marques’s context-based dance education help stimulate the interest of her dance education students in learning the pedagogy of dance education, as opposed to just dancing?
