Description
Dancing Across Borders presents formal and informal settings of dance education where initiatives in different countries transcend borders: cultural and national borders; subject borders; professional borders and socio-economic borders.
'This important collection is relevant to anyone who teaches or creates in the field of dance, dance education or the arts. It encourages us to review our own cultural ways of knowing and teaching, and challenges us to think in new ways with new awareness to become more empathic and open to diversity.' - Sherry B. Shapiro, Professor Emeritus, Meredith College, USA
'Dancing Across Borders explores the pivot value of movement-based learning in formal, informal and cross-disciplinary settings. Highlighting a range of international, collaborative projects the authors engage in broad debates that reveal the unifying impact and value of learning through shared narratives.
Across the range of themes, critical discussion and case study examples there is a chance to explore the important role that arts can play in education when working alongside other disciplines and is open to facilitating positive change.
The authors, in their own voices, encourage questions to be asked in new ways, addressing how we can think together and how in our shifting identities of home and tradition; of education, and of discipline, we can question what shapes cultures of practice and forges new co-relating freedoms of expression.' - Fiona Bannon, Senior Lecturer, University of Leeds, UK
