Mediation, Dr.Christina Deloglu-Kahlert, from May 17th

supporting, accompanying and promoting in an appreciative way

What makes me as a teacher?

How can I motivate learners to learn - to experiment, to question, to be creative?

Not only the selection of materials and content, but also the learning atmosphere and the relationship with the teachers are elementary.

The seminar provides insights into different teaching and learning theories and concrete didactic tools to show different ways of shaping the learning atmosphere, the relationship level and the learning content.

These approaches can form a compendium that helps

• to discover one's own attitude,
• to prepare one's own teaching in a target group-specific way,
• recognize individual learning types in the teaching process and support them individually or
• to facilitate learning as a group process.

Teaching and learning are understood as a reciprocal process at eye level and in changing roles. Teaching is a process of facilitating in which content is prepared, tested and critically scrutinized. But content is also created, further developed or reviewed in a joint process. In this way, knowledge is constantly being constructed - reconstructed or deconstructed - together.

Scores and Found Movements: in the archives of Yvonne Rainer, Trisha Brown,  Lucinda Childs, and Deborah Hey, Júlia Abs, 08. & 09. April

"My approach to scores applies an ongoing research methodology within the notion of the body-archive as the body of dance history - its relation to the tradition of dance based on operations with the appropriation of found movements (Rainer, 1966), one of the central concepts of the American postmodern dance movement (1960-70), taking my re-enactments of four minimalist choreographies as found choreographies: Trio A (Yvonne Rainer, 1966), Locus (Trisha Brown, 1975), Calico Mingling (Lucinda Childs, 1973), and No Time to Fly (Deborah Hey, 2010). To re-enact those choreographies, I have been applying the post-annotation or video-annotation from Motion Bank Annotation System. The late is the development of the Motion Bank former project that has its roots in two William Forsythe’s projects: Synchronous Object for One Flat Thing, reproduced (2000) and Improvisational Technologies (2012), both working with the Forsythe Company to translate through digital data the choreographic knowledge, and repurpose this information visually and qualitatively"
