The Creative Process: In conversation with the Artistic Director of LA Dance Moves
At Dance Education Canada, we know that learning is a 2-way process. If dance is a form of creative expression, then why aren’t we letting the dancers create? Composing steps for, and imposing steps on a dancer does not engage the dancer in their own creative process and means of self-expression through movement. A part of a whole dance education experience includes modelling the creative process. Should dance educators challenge, explore and modify their own creative process in so that they are inspiring students through this experience? The creative process should be fluid, in that dance educators and choreographers are constantly revisiting and revising their own practices. New inspirations, new techniques and new processes is what helps us grow. Listen in today to the creative process of the artistic director of LA Dance Move Ms. Nancy Paradis as she dissects her own process.
GUEST: Nancy Paradis performed as a principal and soloist dancer for many renowned companies including the Washington Ballet, Richmond Ballet and Louisville Ballet Company. She is no stranger to the commercial TV space having performed and choreographed for numerous shows in both the dance and fitness space including NBC Must See TV, A&E Promo, MTV Movie Awards while appearing in several fitness and yoga videos for crunch fitness and power core yoga. Fall 2020 Nancy is excited will return to the Richmond Ballet to choreograph a new work/world premiere.
