IDOCs » "teach me(not)!" panel discussion
An open panel discussion about the relationship of the teacher, learner and the material in dance class, possibly touching on subjects such as (flat) hierarchies, autonomy, methodologies, and relationalities in teaching an art form, the process of learning, and realities in learning & teaching dance. Are the old methods of teaching up for reconsideration? How is it that students come to know and what are the methods that lead them to understand what they want? With Cristina Caprioli, Frey Faust, Sabina Holzer, Nita Little (Moderator) and spontaneous contributors.

Panel & discussion

„On Teaching.
My first attraction to the Symposium at large came from its title, specifically from the last word which is a negation of the statement put in brackets and as such placed in front of an exclamation point. I read the exclamation point as the urge, the need, the desire to act; the desire to act upon the negation to the statement that is understood (recognised, shared by peers) only when hidden from plain sight. The brackets seem to be the crucial signifier, one implying that we empathise and agree with the following thought: actual autonomy (one that would be assumed by stating the not without the use of brackets) is recognised as a source to more problems than solutions. Actual autonomy is something we want, but have not yet attained - consciously. " (Pavle Heider, LEAP facilitator)
