What might trauma sensitive and socially engaged somatic dance practices look like or might dance departments do? https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800536803 2021-10-07 17:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800536803 I am very interested on somatic work and social justice as well as healing. https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800570003 2021-10-07 17:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800570003 https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800570976 I've been incorporating somatic practices that I have learned from other dance folks into my dance classes with kids for many years, but have little knowledge of the cultural lineages of these practices. I've been working recently to try to share more cultural context in my classes.

Looking to continue to learn approaches to de-center whiteness. https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800572273 2021-10-07 17:39:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800572273 https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800572667 I feel like movement is a form social activism in itself and also a way to heal oneself and others. As a professor of dance , we deal with so many students that bring their trauma with them and want to hear more about the topic]]> 2021-10-07 17:39:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800572667 My research interests include the impact of sociopolitical consciousness on schooling experiences across formal and non-formal learning environments. This presentation could illuminate new ideas to consider in my own research practice. malo0069 https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800575301 2021-10-07 17:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800575301 mep2214 https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800575565 I have worked extensively in communities experiencing ongoing crisis and trauma, and come to the work from my own embodied experiences. I am interested in this balance of caring for self and student.]]> 2021-10-07 17:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800575565 I am researching current practices in somatic dance pedagogy https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800576402 2021-10-07 17:40:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800576402 Pearl Primus "Strange Fruit" https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800643307 2021-10-07 18:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800643307 I ask questions and let students answer each other. Or if they ask me a question that look for a fact or the "right" answer, I ask the question back and see if we can answer it as a group. I try to point out when any of us talks or comment from a place coming from western backgrounds or colonialists aesthetics. Like: "That dance was graceful" Why? what makes that graceful? where is our idea of "grace" comes from etc https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800655337 2021-10-07 18:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bdyer21/ypi8pjyumjm78rtp/wish/1800655337
