RDT's Arts In Education for Teachers

Teacher In-Service Workshops

In-service workshops help teachers develop the skills necessary to use movement as a tool to teach the core curriculum. Through the creative process, teachers will study the elements of dance and learn how to incorporate them into their teaching.

At the Core

Repertory Dance Theatre presents a Professional Development Workshop for teachers, K-12, that focuses on using the arts to elevate student awareness of issues relating to health, fitness and a clean environment. Click here for more information.

Dates:
January 6, 2012 | 3:00-5:00 pm or
January 14, 2012 | 12:00-2:00 pm

RDT is also offering Teacher Workshops based on RDT's Green Map project. Please call (801)534-1000 or email rdt@rdtutah.org for more information.

RDT's Passport Workshop Series

RDT presents a new type of workshop series that will inspire thought provoking creativity, discovery, artistic invention and change.  Each “passport” is a creative experience, leading individuals through historic art periods, choreographic philosophies, performance problems and more.  Passport workshops are intended to create opportunities for individual growth and are designed to appeal to a broad range of ages and backgrounds. 

Utah Public School Teachers who are interested in participating are eligible for a discount and may earn up to 8 licensure points per workshop series. Click here to learn more.  

Focus

Repertory Dance Theatre’s three workshops will focus on the State Core Curriculum for dance (modern dance technique, repertory, composition, improvisation, partnering, lighting & production, music and dance history).
