MIRIAM GIGUERE
Creating Dances with Children:
Making a Performance with Students’ Original Ideas

At Jeanne Ruddy Studio, 1515 Brandywine St.
FREE     Info/resv: 215.546.2552  OR  info at philadanceprojects.org

This workshop will explore ideas for leading students in creating their 
own original dances. The methods presented are based on the recent 
dissertation research of Miriam Giguere, who conducted a study which 
looked closely at how students think and reason as they are involved in 
the creative process in dance.  Miriam will guide us through her 
approach, which is applicable to students ages 9-18, and will also 
present the study findings and their implication for curriculum design. 


Miriam Giguere holds a BA in psychology and an MS in Education from the 
University of Pennsylvania and a PhD in dance from Temple University.  
Dr. Giguere has directed the dance program at Drexel University since 
1992.  Before coming to Drexel, Dr. Giguere performed and toured 
nationally and internationally with professional modern dance companies 
Ann Vachon / Dance Conduit, South Street Dance Company, Body Language 
Dance Company, and Terry Beck Troupe.  Ms. Giguere is a Pennsylvania 
Council on the Arts fellowship recipient and frequent Artist in 
Residence for Philadelphia and surrounding area public schools.  A 
frequent presenter on the integration of dance into academic curriculum 
at universities and national conferences, her research has been 
published in Arts Education Policy Review, Journal of Dance Education, 
and Selected Dance Research, Vol 6.

Dance TAG is made possible with a grant from the Stockton Rush Bartol 
Foundation.

The mission of the Philadelphia Dance Projects is contribute to the 
cultivation of dance art in Philadelphia and the region, by providing 
professional development and services for dance and movement artists, 
enrichment for their audiences and exposure and learning experience in 
dance for youth through various projects and presentations.
