The Council of Ontario Drama and Dance Educators is calling for workshop presenters for our 2025 conference – “Full steam Ahead – Drama and Dance for the Future” taking place in Kitchener October 17th to 19th. We are looking for workshops, presentations, discussions and proposals that put the Arts (specifically Drama and Dance) squarely into this discussion around education for the future.
Here are some examples of themes we would like potential presenters/speakers to explore in their proposal:
– Drama and Dance integration into and for the exploration of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
– Exploring themes/stories/skills for the future in drama and dance (e.g., a Story Drama incorporating a Children’s book exploring the future).
– Drama and Dance that engages with STEAM and explores or enhances our understanding of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
– Exploring themes to dismantle and decolonize our practice.
Innovative approaches to Drama and Dance Education.
– Technology in the Drama and Dance classroom and program
– Innovative assessment and evaluation in the Drama and Dance classroom.
– Drama and Dance exploring futurisms – What is the future we want to create together? We want to ensure everyone is on the train and not excluded. How can Drama/Dance explore and help develop the future we want to see?
– New approaches to developing critical thinking, problem-solving and analytical skills in the Drama/Dance space.
– Practices that help students understand the world and meet their needs in a holistic manner.
