We will also address complex issues of including movement and touch in an educational setting. (Based on Experiential Anatomy, Body-Mind Centering®, and other somatic modalities.)
This workshop is ideal for practitioners and teachers of dance, yoga, martial arts, and other forms, as well as for all those inspired to expand their own dance / movement practice with a more embodied presence.
[Note: Although geared toward professional educators, this workshop is also open to all those with an interest in somatics, dance / movement education, and/or education.]

The University of Chicago is conducting the first
major study of the teaching artist profession.
|
We are counting on organizations in the Bay area in order to get in contact with teaching artists and arts education managers for representation in a study on the careers and programs for teaching artists. Our goal is to help policy makers understand the contributions of teaching artists and the programs that hire them. We’d like to suggest policies and strategies that will help sustain the work and expand its reach.
We hope that you can help us make a difference through this unique study by providing us with:
- An estimate of how many teaching artists you hire
- Manager contact info at your organization (name and email)
- Email contact info for all teaching artists that work at your organization
- This academic study is confidential and emails will only be used to send teaching artists and their managers an online survey within the next few months.
You can send us the list as an email attachment to teachingartists@uchicago.edu or you can fax it to us at (773) 834-7412. For more information on the project please check our website at http://teachingartists.uchicago.edu or see the project information sheet.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely, Jason Radford
Research Assistant, Teaching Artists Research Project
