Expressivity and Technique: Finding the Balance with a Doctor of French Literature
Dance Education Canada's approach to dance teacher training is unique in that we address all aspects of teaching, beyond the teaching of just steps. This unique approach allows dance educators to be the best they can be in so that their students can thrive, excel and progress in an environment that is nurturing and supportive while maintaining excellence and mastery in their performance. Part of a “whole dance education experience” includes teaching performers, artists and dancers how to express themselves through movement. I have heard it many many times from adjudicators, teachers and even artistic directors of company’s that there is too much focus on technique these days and not enough emphasis on the storytelling. Today we will discuss the importance of finding the balance between both technique and expression with the help of Dr. Cynthia Dariane.
GUEST: For Cynthia, dance is more than just an art: it is a life discipline and an identity. In addition to her stage experience, she obtained the French State diploma in jazz dance teaching while integrating Terpsichore’s art in her studies. She holds a PhD in French Literature focused on the relationship between literature and dance, and a Masters in dance research focused on gender studies in Baladi. She believes in the richness of heteroclites. Involved in choreography, theatre, concerts, teaching, and conferences, Cynthia is an well-rounded scholar who juggles between the worlds of writing, literature and dance.
