Each week following an artist's post, reflection questions and research ideas will get posted. These are aimed towards college level courses (senior seminar, composition, dance education, and more), but of course anyone can read the postscript and find thought-provoking questions and activities.
----------------------
Discuss: Take Away
In a course, discuss one sentence - or one idea - that struck you from Kelli's post.
Reflect: Childhood Movement Experiences
"I was always interested in moving. As a child, I was a gymnast, swimmer and competitive free-style skier."
Looking back at your own childhood, what non-dance movement activities were important to you? As an adult, how do you think those experiences informed your dancing, choreographic style, or approach to movement?
Research: Bates Dance Festival
Kelli shared about her experience at one of the iconic modern dance festivals in the US, Bates. Spend some time researching Bates Dance Festival, Jacob's Pillow, or the American Dance Festival (ADF). What are the offerings? The cost? When are applications and auditions? If in college, is there a scholarship in your department that might cover the tuition?
