FORUM DESCRIPTION
This forum is a conversation with CSD, Detroit artists Erika Stowall and Marianne Cox, and forum attendees to reflect on the adaptations to teaching and learning that we are moving through. How is our teaching responsive to the times? What are our strategies for adapting our praxis in a pandemic? What values are we transforming or remembering in our teaching? Join us for a conversation space for dance educators to share approaches, challenges, strategies, and visions for teaching in a pandemic. Open to all (students, practitioners, etc).
