We are happy to announce the successful development and publication of an innovative curriculum as part of the "Creative Choreography Unleashed: Empowering Skills and Competences in Dance Education" project. This curriculum, crafted through collaborative workshops held in Germany, Italy, and Turkey, promises to revolutionize dance education by integrating diverse movement practices and creative methodologies.

Workshop Highlights:

Italy (January 22-26, 2024): Participants delved into the Zhineng Qigong method and explored Danza Movimento Naturale, experiencing holistic approaches to movement and dance.

- Turkey (February 19-23, 2024):  The focus was on Zeybek methods and various techniques from traditional Turkish dance, offering rich cultural insights and unique movement styles.

- Germany (April 15-19, 2024): The workshop emphasized Alignment, Contractions, and Movement Philosophies, providing a modern perspective on body mechanics and dance theory.

These workshops served as the foundation for the newly developed curriculum, which combines and reinterprets the techniques and methods explored during these sessions. The result is a comprehensive manual aimed at promoting the study of aerial disciplines and movement practices, facilitating the exchange of good practices among participating organizations, local stakeholders, and community members from Germany, Italy, and Turkey.

The primary objective of this curriculum is to enrich the existing training offerings and encourage professionals in the dance sector to engage with the international scene. It seeks to make training activities and artistic events accessible to all interested individuals, fostering a vibrant, inclusive dance community. Key elements include:

-The curriculum is encapsulated in a detailed manual, incorporating insights and experiences from the workshops. This manual will aid art-based organizations and centers in revamping their dance courses with fresh pedagogical methods.

Participating organizations are piloting the innovative dance methods with professional dancers and interested members. These sessions, led by experienced dance professionals, involves  dance students in each participating country, ensuring a thorough and practical application of the new curriculum.

We are excited to begin the next phase of our project, where the curriculum will be put into action through workshops and performances that demonstrate its unique and innovative approach. This endeavor not only enhances dance education but also bridges cultural gaps, promoting a shared understanding and appreciation of diverse dance traditions and methodologies.

Stay tuned for updates on our workshops and performances as we continue to empower skills and competences in dance education across borders. For more information, please visit our website or contact our project team.
