Abstract

ABSTRACTIn this article, I share my approach to collaborative dance making. I use this in both workshop settings with learners of all ages and abilities, and as a more complex process for developing full productions with community college students. I describe the basic practice as well as the philosophy that informs my work, which is designed to foster connection and communication through dance. This is followed by a description of a more in-depth application of this cooperative choreographic process within which students can express their personal stories as part of a larger theme in a fully produced performance. The role of educator as facilitator in this process is key, and so I share strategies for faculty and peer mentoring as well as specific feedback techniques.
