Heather Castillo and MiRi Park share about humanized online dance classes (and dance as protest) on episode 340 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
When I went to college I was being modeled into this modern dancer, I didn’t necessarily know what that meant, but I still wanted to be the best.
-MiRi Park
I think of them as people who do dance, as opposed to merely dancers. They are human beings that have histories of arrival and each person is unique, so there is never going to be just one story.
-MiRi Park
There was never a doubt in either of our minds that this could be done.
-Heather Castillo
Why keep the information to myself when I can share it with others?
