In this program Teachers/Students learn about the best ways to COMMUNICATE, with each other, and situations. Using engaging physical movement techniques, drawn from Asian mindfulness practices, tai chi, mime, and theatre, children work together and individually to achieve a desired group or individual objective that they constructed. We engage in role-playing activities, and exercises that convey how our body language can translate moods: judgment, curiosity, interest, intelligence, surprise, et al...
In this program, Linda unpacks a toolbox for students and teachers to draw from, where children are given a framework to work from, and then are able to design, construct and deliver ideas that bring aha moments. Children can see and become aware of new behaviors, and methods of interacting and communicating that will benefit them.
These activities are a springboard for consciousness for both children and teachers. As Artificial intelligence gives us models on how to apply information we will take ideas like being powerful but not forceful, and create physical movement models to unlock how these ideas can be used for each of us. Mindfully moving both mind and body, students and teachers will work with art and science concepts, for example, time-space ideas, and concepts around layered thinking, and translate these into movement and simulations.
This program engages students and teachers on many levels. An important takeaway is remembering how to respond, not react, and changing habits that are not working to new patterns of communicating that will.
