KINE 2P06 is an introduction to dance as an art form through making, performing and appreciating dance. Emphasis is on the creative process, dance skills and vocabulary through exploration of dance concepts and observational skills. “The group performances are original creative works of the students,” says movement specialist Janet Westbury. “This course develops diversity in our student's movements and teaches them pedagogical approaches to dance and movement theory at its base. However, this course is much more. It is about the personal journal the students take as they overcome their vulnerability - this is where true learning occurs. An environment is facilitated to encourage the students to challenge themselves through a transformative experience,” says Westbury.
