Making Joyful Connections

Theme and Variations

featuring video from the 2020 DSA National Conference

Cynthia will walk us through a video recording of her workshop, pausing to discuss its specific aspects. How can the “Theme and Variations” form be explored through the lens of Dalcroze Education? What movement approaches can then be applied to our teaching and performance?

TaKeTiNa and Eurhythmics: A Study in Contrast

featuring video from the 2010 DSA National Conference
TaKeTiNa engages and challenges our body to become an instrument as we step, clap, and chant all at once. The artist will discuss videos of his TaKeTiNa sessions and consider how this practice uses the principles of rhythm and movement differently from eurhythmics.

The DALCROZE LAB is a virtual forum for educators to explore the process and pedagogy of Dalcroze Education from anywhere.

The Spring 2021 Artist-in-Action Series invites master Dalcroze teachers to revisit one of their in-person workshops from the DSA Video Library. Participants will watch the original class, hear reflections from the presenter, and join in vibrant discussion with the master teacher and others around the world.

Missed a seminar or can’t join us in real time? All seminars will be archived for you to watch (or rewatch) later.
