About

The Moving Knowledge model provides curriculum support to assist your school with the seamless integration of dance into classroom activities, whilst addressing all ‘achievement standards’.

A moving, bodily- kinaesthetic engaging classroom activates the somatic intelligence of our students. Knowledge through muscle memory, cellular perception and mind-body connection.

The Moving Knowledge model allows for a more physically engaging classroom but also eliminates the need to employ outside ‘dance contractors,’ which can bite into valuable class time.

Your staff are not required to have dance training or to engage in professional dance training. The Moving Knowledge model offers tools that empower your staff to ‘direct’ students through a moving exploration of their curriculum matter.

The Moving Knowledge model supports critical and creative student thinking whilst expanding personal and social capabilities as they participate in teamwork, communication and the expression of concepts and ideas. This model encourages their development as confident and involved learners as well as effective communicators and creative individuals.

Through a series of ‘directions’ the students will learn to:

explore, improvise, devise, explain, create, build, imagine, sequence, develop, communicate, order, record, and organise 

the expression of ideas, information and feelings;

the use of the body as a research tool; and

the various ways of becoming:  storytellers,  communicators,  collaborators,  team-workers, audience members,  performers,  creative thinkers,  and active citizens.          

This way of learning encourages and promotes successful social behaviour, competent development in problem solving, team work, planning, organisation, communication, practical mathematic applications, language development, perseverance, student-teacher relationships, student motivation, school attendance, and much more.

The Moving Knowledge model is offered as a Professional Development session for all school staff, school departments, or as external workshop sessions for individual staff wanting to add this skill to their bank – and is held at our movement studios in Brunswick (see dates on our calendar).
