In this talk, noted dance educator and researcher Edward C. (Ted) Warburton unpacks the cognitive processes and relational practices that engage “bodies as knowledge.” He shows how instruction in the arts can help students realize their imagined selves, becoming agents of affective change in education.
Warburton is Professor of Dance, Associate Dean of the Arts, and Director of the Arts Research Institute at the University of California, Santa Cruz. As the 2016 National Dance Education Organization’s Outstanding Dance Researcher, he promotes new ideas and methods for learning in, through, and about the arts.
