TEACHER TRAINING INTENSIVE; ‘Question-inspire-developnurture’
Saturday 26 – Monday 28 October 2013
Following the success of Candoco’s Teacher Training Intensive in 2011 & 2012, the
company will be running another course this October for disabled and non-disabled
teachers and practitioners keen to explore the principles of inclusive practice.
Candoco Dance Company is the dance company of disabled and non-disabled dancers.
We create excellent and profound experiences for audiences and participants that excite,
challenge and broaden perceptions of art and ability, placing people and collaboration at
the heart. We commission productions created by world-class choreographers for
national and international touring and deliver an extensive learning programme to provide
broad access to the highest quality dance.
Celeste Dandeker and Adam Benjamin founded Candoco in 1991 by taking a giant leap
into the unknown, showing that disability is not and should not be perceived as
disadvantage. They made a commitment to quality, inclusivity and collaboration, which
has made Candoco the world leader it is today and our artists into role models for new
generations of dance artists. Celebrating over 20 years of practice we continue to change
the landscape of dance by producing bold work: that is enhanced by diversity, provides
opportunities for dancers at all stages of a career where none have existed, surprises
audiences with new creative possibilities, which broaden and enrich our imaginary
worlds.
The 3-day Teacher Training Intensive, delivered by Candoco dancers, will introduce
disabled and non-disabled teachers and dance artists to the principles of Candoco’s
inclusive work. It will focus on the fundamentals of your own teaching practice, adaptation
and technique, use of language, inclusive environments and the models of disability.
