'Moving Matters: supporting disabled dance students in HE'
Ellen Terry Arts and Media Centre, Coventry University
Wednesday 21 November 2007
This day will provide an opportunity for all those involved in
delivering practical dance activities in HE to share successes, fears
and aspirations in supporting disabled dance students. The focus will be
principally on exploring strategies for supporting students with
physical and sensory disabilities.
The aim of the day is to share good practice and different approaches to
teaching and learning to enable teachers to develop expertise and
confidence in this work. The day will include opportunities to observe
and participate in practical dance activities, including tutor-led
technique-based sessions as well as creative, choreographic workshops.
Themes will include:
* language and terminology in the delivery of practical classes
* developing learning outcomes, assessment criteria
* how learning is demonstrable and can be assessed
* learning support; how to provide it and manage it within small
teaching teams
* entry onto courses and exit into the profession
* disabled and non-disabled students working together
Contributions to the day are invited. These may be in a variety of forms
including papers, practical activities and poster presentations.
The day will take place at Coventry University in the Ellen Terry Arts
and Media Centre, home to the Performing Arts Department and the BA
(Hons) Dance and Professional Practice course. The building has studio
spaces as well as lecture theatres and seminar rooms, and is fully
accessible.
The dance team at Coventry University has developed a wealth of
experience and expertise in teaching and learning methodology within
this field by working closely with disabled dance students on the course
and their learning support assistants, and will share their experiences
as part of the day. The event is a follow-up to the conference in March
this year, held at Coventry University and hosted in conjunction with
SCODHE and Independent Dance; 'Dance and Disability; Strategies for
Inclusion in HE and Beyond'.
