Who is DETI Intended to Serve?

Sessions are open to the public, with a particular interest to serve choreographers, performers, highly experienced dance educators as well as teaching artists who are just beginning to work in the field of dance education. Administrators and participants from various arts and educational disciplines are invited and encouraged to attend the workshops.

Continuing Professional Development Course (CPD)

Course Description: This Dance Composition and Design course is an examination of the choreographic tools and processes through the development of improvisational techniques, compositional basics, the elements of compositional design, and the critical response process as well as the creation of new choreography. This course supports the mentoring of student compositions and refinement of best practices for compositional development at all instructional levels.

Attendance to at least 15 hours of the DETI and submission of a lesson plan that demonstrates the use of dance composition and design is required. Participants respond to written reflection evaluations at the conclusion of the DETI. To receive MSDE credit for attending DETI participants must register using the BCPS on-line registration system. Non-BCPS employees will register as a guest. The course is listed in the catalog called "PDC Inservice Catalog - CPD Courses Catalog."

FOOD, LODGING & TRANSPORTATION:

We will provide a light breakfast/snack for the Monday Morning Welcoming. For the workshop, you may pack a lunch each day or grab lunch at one of the convenient on or off campus dining establishments. Please remember to bring a water bottle, so that you can stay hydrated throughout the program.

IMPORTANT: Housing & Transportation will NOT be provided. However, if you need assistance in finding local options and/or would like to coordinate a car pool, please feel free to reach out in advance. With enough notice, we may be able to connect you to other attendees and help to coordinate lodging & transportation.
