For a Technique Course: A Journal
This piece was originally posted on January 14, 2016.
From Blog Director Jill Randall:
I am pleased to share with you the new journal I designed for undergraduate and graduate level technique courses. Writing and reflecting are valuable components of training. This free, downloadable journal can be formally used within a college course or personally printed out by a college student to explore on her own. Print it at home or color copy it at your college's print shop like a "reader" for a course. (See the two versions below.)
A special thank you goes out to dance professors around the country who reviewed and edited this journal, including:
- Abby Fiat (University of Utah)
- Damon Rago (Loyola Marymount University)
- John Beasant (University of Houston)
- Dana Lawton (Saint Mary's College of California)
- Shaunna Vella (Saint Mary's College of California)
- Mo Miner (UC Berkeley and University of San Francisco)
Here's to a great semester ahead!
