Resources for Moving Dance-Based Pedagogy Online
March 9, 2020
While liveness is often an integral part of performance-based curricula, here we compile a list of resources for moving teaching into the digital sphere. When in-person meetings are not possible, online tools, content, and protocols can offer new approaches to technique, choreography, performance, and collaboration. Please share these resources and contribute to this growing list by emailing info@dancestudiesassociation.org.

Practice Voicethread, a Sandbox for professors to "play" with the tool. Heather Castillo will be checking in daily to moderate and answer questions. People will need to make an account to try it out, but should check and see if their institutions have accounts.
