Theatre Studies; Dance; Teaching of special educational needs

The arts have a crucial role in empowering young people with special needs through diverse dance initiatives. Inclusive pedagogy that integrates all students in rich, equitable and just dance programmes within education frameworks is occurring alongside enabling projects by community groups and in the professional dance world where many high-profile choreographers actively seek opportunities to work across diversity to inspire creativity. Access and inclusion is increasingly the essence of projects for disenfranchised and traumatised youth who find creative expression, freedom and hope through dance. This volume foregrounds dance for young people with special needs and presents best practice scenarios in schools, communities and the professional sphere. International perspectives come from Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, Canada, Denmark, Fiji, Finland, India, Indonesia, Jamaica, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, Taiwan, Timor Leste, the UK and the USA.

Sections include:

Reviews for Dance, Access and Inclusion: Perspectives on Dance, Young People and Change

'A much-needed anthology that will prove invaluable to the dance practitioner who wishes to provide an inclusive environment for all.' - Ann Kipling Brown, Professor Emerita of the University of Regina, Canada 'This book can be summed as being about the work that art or dance does, as opposed to the work that art is. The efficacy and the power that dance has to change people's lives is perhaps the most noble of its functions in life. For educators, parents and practitioners, this is a priceless addition to your library and resource material. The book serves its purpose to enlighten and empower, as well as being a timely reminder of why dance has been an integral part of the community, and how everyone can participate in its joy and benefits.' - Joseph Gonzales, Professor at Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Hong Kong
