Indiana MEA Conference | The Book of Movement Exploration with Emily Maurek

Take a tour through The Book of Movement Exploration by John Feierabend and Jane Kahan and actively discover the ten essential movement “themes” based on the work of Rudolf von Laban for inspiring creative movement in children of all ages. In this participatory session, we will experience joyful pathways to guide students in developing their personal movement vocabulary as we explore various ways to move: alone and with others, with and without music. This approach of learning through movement also connects students kinesthetically with the deeper, below-the-surface aspects of music, the “art” part, connecting community and culture as we endeavor to learn and grow musically together.
