Doing my own research
to create resources regarding:
-
the use of movement in schools
-
Theatrical movement (including a book about movement philosophy, psychology, and application activities for the stage as well as supplemental videos for demonstration and teaching moments)
-
Movement Beyond Fitness
-
Theatre Lesson Plans for various age groups
-
Other resources for theater and dance teachers
Common Research Topics
Along with studying about movement, I like to incorporate as much movement practice as I can get my feet, elbows, hips, spine and hands on. The greater the variety of movement styles, the higher the movement vocabulary, body control and expressivity a person can have.
