Dancing Our Way Home

Practical ideas

THREE comprehensive books in ONE. There are many detailed descriptions of movement games and improvisational movement forms, along with modifications, objectives and testimonials. There is also an entire section dedicated to curriculum that takes you step by step through multiple week school projects/residencies, culminating in performance. Finally, this book offers a revolutionary philosophy of teaching and, really living life, that will transform individuals and communities in its' inclusive and kind approach. If you are a teacher, group leader, counselor, principal, manager, artist, dancer, community leader or organizer, change or peace maker, GET DANCING OUR WAY HOME. Learn how to inspire groups rather than manage them, use the body as a tool for learning and reflecting, bring groups into collaboration and joy through movement and improvisation, the value of performance as a means to catapult students into their leadership and creative voice and creating an environment where people blossom! I have referred to this so many times over the years leading groups of all ages and abilities. It is truly indispensable and unique! Movement brings us home and this book gives us the map to get there.

This is an incredible book. Not only is it an in depth guide to creating artistic collaborations in multiple settings, it is also a guide to creating joyful community, and a testament to the power of self-expression within community. There are many moving stories throughout the book of moments of transformation, when a life was changed positively forever. I love the explanations given with the various games and exercises, which, on the surface, might not seem like they would have an impact, and yet, the impact can be quite powerful. If you want to build joyful, connected, loving communities in any setting, this book is a tremendous resource and guide for doing so.

This is one of the most useful tools I have ever found for building groups through experiential exercises. A must have for workshop leaders. A host of well-designed processes with great descriptions and teaching notes.

Amazing amazing book and resource! Easy to use and full of wisdom!
