60 Years in Motion - The Study Guides

Details

Repertory Dance Theatre uses study guides as an arts learning tool for students and teachers to prepare for matinee performance visits as well as school assembly visits. The information included highlights not only the choreographers, the choreographic process, and the Utah State Core Fine Arts Standards that are featured in the activity, but also provides teachers with lesson plan activities and constructive observation questions for students to think about as they watch the performance. Study guides are sent to teachers a few weeks before the RDT program to prepare students for what they will be watching and experiencing. Study guides are created for each season performance as well as in school performances/assemblies. 

The FLIGHT study guide was an especially memorable digital study guide that engaged audiences with landscapes of Utah through dance. If you find this interesting, check out the study guides for RDT's 60th Season!

What People are Saying

This activity was valuable because it helped students make connections between dance, rhythm, healthy lifestyles, and expression. The students were impressed by the talent of the dancers and it was motivating to them.
Opportunities for art and expression are so limited at school but so essential and valuable for all students, especially those who struggle to learn through traditional methods. My Kindergarteners have been dancing since you left!
This was so engaging. I looked around the auditorium and every student was watching. Not one person was talking or distracted
This activity is valuable to teachers and students because it gives them a creative outlet. We need movement in the classroom to engage, energize and deepen student learning.
I got great ideas on how to incorporate movement into math and science lessons.
I loved how you made movement and exercise relatable to the students. The dancers were full of energy and there was very little down time so students stayed engaged.
Our children were captivated by the performance. They listened to you and they were learning without knowing. They usually giggle when bodies are shown and talked about. But the way you presented it was so tastefully done, they now do poses and movement around the room and outside. You brokesome barriers and they took that permission and literally ran with it!
This activity got the students up and moving. It made them believe in their abilities to use their bodies to express themselves.
