Improvised artistic methods vs. traditional technique- oriented teaching:

The techniques used in this approach are composed, as the fields of post-modern life, from heterogeneous sources and include elements from all modern, many ethnical, classic and new dance styles as well as body work, sensory awareness and applications of psychological knowledge about personal development. I addition to that continuos communication between body and soul a philosophical conception is the necessary basis to create an organic practical composition connecting technique with improvisation, parallel to modern life with its internalised rules, which are carried out in an individualistic way creating very different lifestyles as variation of common rules. This is the foundation of modern societies and so dance improvisation with it’s tension between structure and freedom works in the same way as the self actualisation of the individual on the background of common rules in social life.

The challenge in teaching dance improvisation is the risk of not being specific ( of becoming too "laissez faire") If everything is always o.k., even adult dancers loose their motivation after a while. Children even more so want to feel challenged as a form of being taken seriously besides having a basic drive to play. How can we live a non judgmental approach in education without moving into uncritical regardless acceptance on the artistic level.

This could be understood as a plea for dancing techniques, as a good technique in the arts will transmit the same to everybody giving the chance to unfold the individual mastership of personal expression and performance. If the goal of teaching dance is not a stage oriented performing art, but an education of tolerance, creativity and feeling connected, we will have a problem with the traditional way of teaching techniques. Stage techniques will stimulate the very attitude of judment, which already is the problem of schools and also puts limitations in the possibilities of sport teaching. So we eventually get back to teaching dance as improvisation, with a focus on the development of an individual standard.
