Formation à la médiation - Module #5

Facilitating a mediation session

20 > 04.23.27

Register

Sharing a choreographic practice, discussing a work, and telling stories about dance involve approaches that are invented and reinvented based on the specific context of each situation—depending on the people present, the time allotted, and the venue. Engaging with audiences requires the ability to adapt, to take unconventional paths, and to capture what is “there” and turn it into something meaningful. During this training, participants will experiment with developing an educational program, facilitating sessions, and addressing the adjustments this entails, while exploring different ways to convey dance.

Publics

Artists, teachers, and program coordinators working at cultural institutions, local governments, or nonprofit organizations; individuals responsible for public relations; professionals in the social, health, or legal sectors; and project leaders involved in arts and cultural education.

Group size

Maximum of 16 trainees

Objectives

  • Gain a sense of direction in the transmission of dance, education, and learning;
  • Clarify one’s approach in mediation situations;
  • Develop a dance mediation practice tailored to the specific characteristics of the audiences, regions, and contexts encountered.

A professor and researcher in education and training sciences at the University of Paris-Est Créteil and a former dancer, Dieynébou Fofana-Ballester explores the sensory, pedagogical, and political dimensions of movement in processes of learning and individual and collective transformation. Her work examines, in particular, how the body in motion becomes a space for knowledge, mediation, and empowerment, especially in vulnerable educational and social contexts.

Marta Munuce is the arts and culture education coordinator at the CN D.
