Finding GRACE: An embodied exploration of Ronald K. Brown’s masterwork Grace through the DEL Dance framework led by Ronald K. Brown, Arcell Cabuag, and DEL facilitator Deborah Damast.
Participants will be guided through movement concepts, content, and repertory phrases from this seminal work and will investigate entry points for finding and maintaining Grace as a guiding principle in their teaching. Hear directly from Ronald K. Brown and Arcell Cabuag about the inspiration and creative journey that brought Grace from lived experience to the stage. How do we embody Grace in our daily lives? How do we engage Grace as a pedagogic practice? How can we weave forgiveness, empathy, and spirituality into our pedagogy and personal artistic journeys? Accompanying asynchronous resources will support participants in applying course content to their unique teaching contexts.
This course is offered in a hybrid format to accommodate participants who want to join in-person OR online.
