This weekend I attended the Idaho Dance Educators Organization (IDEO) annual conference. I found myself looking for formative assessment connections in terms of movement and "emotional intelligence." I also realized I am fairly stumped when it comes to assessment AS learning in the arena of creative movement.
The focus of the conference was Anne Green Gilbert's "Brain Dance," which I have used since learning about it during my BSWP ISI experience in 2011. One of the presenters this weekend directly mentioned aspects of the braindance as being useful platforms for formative assessment of student movement.
- AAH! I just remembered this thoughtfulness is also supported to be feedback focused! -
Anyway, I suppose I can also brainstorm about how to use some of the feedback techniques and language we have practiced for movement and drama. I think I must do a lot of "feed forward" especially during rehearsal for our big shows, since if I didn't the performances would be the same as the first read through! I will definitely work to elevate mindfulness in this particular area of my practice...
