Event overview and objectives:

This is the third symposium event of a series from the AHRC funded Dance Educator’s Network, dedicated to Critical Dance Pedagogy.

Join us for a participatory day fostering networking, collaboration, knowledge exchange, and exploration of some transformative practices in Critical Dance Pedagogy.

Engage in discussions and workshops around addressing social assumptions, structural power relations, and inequities within dance and dance education. The day will explore Pedagogies and Practices. Hosted by University of Edinburgh and online, the symposium aims to connect academics, dance educators working at secondary, FE and HE, researchers, artists, and industry stakeholders, to foster networking, collaboration and knowledge exchange through discourse and practice to:

  • raise awareness of social exclusions within dance education;
  • initiate change by deconstructing power structures;
  • share some inclusive and transformative pedagogical practices;
  • foster greater understanding of intersectionality, equity, diversity, inclusion, and student-centered pedagogy.
