What is our here & now mission? by Russell, Catherine https://padlet.com/cm119707/zjhmzrxx2zotalhg CoFA School of Dance Mission Statement Workshop en-us 2021-05-20 14:28:19 UTC 2021-05-20 18:51:31 UTC hello@padlet.com Current cm119707 https://padlet.com/cm119707/zjhmzrxx2zotalhg/wish/1544797719 The field of dance embraces a common, human kinesthetic expression accessible across cultures and time. Through the discipline of movement we cultivate an understanding and practice of collaboration, which encompasses communication, creativity, diversity, and adaptability that facilitate living in a complex world. Our program focuses on the comprehensive integration of artistic, verbal, written and technological forms. The curriculum specifically supports the practice of choreography/creative problem solving as an integrative process, strong collaboration, observation and analytical skills, and the development of a versatile mind.
 
 Our modern dance based program offers a comprehensive curriculum in choreography, performance and production, integrated with theoretical, historical, cultural and practical studies in dance. We contribute to the cultural environment of the university, community and region through high quality productions and by providing opportunities to engage with the art of dance. We provide the general university student with studies in the practice, history and aesthetics of dance.]]> 2021-05-20 17:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cm119707/zjhmzrxx2zotalhg/wish/1544797719 Thinking about the "who" https://padlet.com/cm119707/zjhmzrxx2zotalhg/wish/1545087949 I'm thinking about the changing demographic of students that we are admitting and how the mission statement can address the needs of an increasingly diverse student body--many of whom have different goals post-graduation.
