"The Kite Method: Dance Pedagogy in Action" This hands-on presentation provides concrete examples of dance pedagogy in action, demonstrating the approach and impact of a step-wise instruction style. Inspired by the pedagogy of Dr. Ruud Vermej, a dance educationist and psychotherapist.
Since 1980, Dancers’ Studio West has brought contemporary dance performance to Alberta. Rufi Oswaldo’s vision is to combine intellectual rigor with deep creative practice by connecting art with conversations about culture and politics and making the creative process more accessible. While his upbringing nurtured his passion for dance, it’s the intricate way that he can walk in contradicting spaces as an immigrant, a queer man, and a former Mormon that makes him a unique and compelling artistic director.
