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.
