Hello everyone,
I hope we are all getting settled into our new modules. Hopefully, this is the first of many blog posts which I endeavour to create over the next few months.
As I scour literature connected to my interest in spatial imagery, I find myself opening hatches which shed light upon intention, attention, and consciousness in the environment of teaching and learning.
Perception? I don't know yet.
I have always strived to allow emotion and affect to exist within my teaching practice; to marry technical rigour with something which is also personal - sensory, temporal, and kinaesthetic. I want my dancing to be relevant, and I also want to teach relevance. I want my students to experience rather than to demonstrate.
To be rather than to show.
Question: how can we be tactile without touching?
