The SI gives each participant an opportunity to investigate their own teaching practice while generating strategies for arts advocacy and education/social change. Includes follow up coaching.

Advanced Summer Institute
July 15-18, 2008, 8am-5pm, Mills College, Oakland
Former Summer Institute participants examine how to help children deepen their thinking within the creative process. This workshop will help each participant build curricula from a discrete set of lessons into a progressive study of dance units, and build dance learning from one year to the next. Through an examination of learning models, the Advanced Summer Institute will help teachers take children beyond an introductory level of understanding in order to engage students in dance making at increasingly complex levels. Includes follow up coaching.
Email smcmahon@lunakidsdance.org to request an application.

for Dance/Movement Educators

Faculty: Susan Bauer, M.F.A, M.A.
Dates: June 16 - 20, 2008 | Monday - Friday (9 am - 4 pm; T/Th until 5:30)

This workshop introduces a cutting-edge approach to using somatics with teens and college-level adults. Through experiential and student-centered methods, this curriculum empowers students through the development of kinesthetic awareness, enhanced perception of one's cultural conditioning, and a healthy respect for self and others. We will also address complex issues related to the inclusion of movement and touch in an educational setting. (Based on Experiential Anatomy, Body-Mind Centering, and other somatic modalities).

This intensive includes the following workshops:
* The Mindful Body: Experiential Anatomy for Teens and Young Adults
* The Body Politic: Touch and Movement as a Social Force
* Group Process Lab
* Integration Class
* Professional Application Lab
