New Video Workshop: Wellness Programs in Dance Schools
Fractured Atlas is proud to announce the launch of its second Fractured U. video workshop: No Pain, No Gain? No Way!: Wellness Programs in Dance Schools.
This is our first discipline-specific Fractured U. course or video workshop. As Fractured Atlas values artist healthcare quite highly, we feel that this workshop fits right in with the rest of Fractured U. The workshop could be of tremendous value to teaching artists who work in dance, as well as dancers and choreographers alike, especially if they are structuring their own training programs. We’re so glad Dance/NYC is offering this video workshop to Fractured Atlas members!
“What’s a video workshop?,” you ask. Well, like our other online courses in Fractured U., this is something you can do on your own time — it’s not live, and you don’t have to watch the video all at once. Dance/NYC recorded this workshop that took place at their offices in November 2009. For just $10, you get to view the entire workshop through streaming video, PLUS you get all of the handouts (and more!) that those who attended the actual workshop received. There is even an outline/timeline of the video in case you want to skip sections and scroll through — you can’t do THAT at a live workshop!!
Overview: The traditional approach to training dancers has been effective in turning out highly skilled practitioners of a difficult art, but only at great cost to the dancers themselves. A consistent lack of interest in helping dancers cope with the demands of the training they undergo has led to a startlingly high rate of physical, emotional, and mental difficulties among dance students. The past few decades have seen the emergence of a growing concern about the physical, emotional, and mental well-being of dance students. Recently, a number of professional dance schools have created programs designed to help ensure the wellness of their dancers. This video workshop explores how dance schools have integrated wellness programs into the traditional model of training and how such programs can be most effectively designed and implemented in small to large dance companies and schools.
This video workshop is 90 minutes in length and you can pause, rewind, and fast-forward to your hearts’ content. The cost of the workshop is only $10 — a great bargain since you’re getting the workshop and a whole lot of supporting documents!
Enroll today for the No Pain, No Gain? No Way! video workshop at Fractured U, where arts professionals learn to navigate the business of art.
