»I WALK, I DANCE, I AM«
3RD INTERNATIONAL DANCE PEDAGOGY CONFERENCE
October 6 – 8, 2017, Velenje, Slovenia

 

We are delighted to announce the 3rd International Dance Pedagogy Conference in Slovenia, entitled “I WALK, I DANCE, I AM”. The title comes from the soon-to-be-published book by Slovenian dance teacher Marija Vogelnik, which epitomizes the essence of contemporary dance creativity by stressing that every movement can itself be dance and that we do not have the body, do not possess the body, but rather we are the body. Body and dance are indelibly linked. Becoming aware of the body, feeling the body and oneself through creation and expression by movement is an important yet neglected part of the education process. This is why the conference aims at fostering links between the art of dance and education, thus linking those active in the area of general education with those who enrich a child's free time with dance.


Lectures and workshops at the conference are aimed at kindergarten, primary and secondary school teachers, professional dancers and choreographers, dance teachers, dance therapists, students of art and education faculties, theoreticians and researchers from the fields of pedagogy, psychology etc.
The conference will allow the participants to actively acquaint themselves with topics from the fields of dance pedagogy and creative movement.
The conference will also host a mini festival of children dance groups entitled “PIKA MIGA” (PIPPI MOVES).
