  • 1/10 The Intellectual Benefits of Playfulness

    Thursday, Jan 10         10:00-11:15                The intellectual benefits of playfulness: bringing play into your class through complicity games (HBL CLC)

    Complicity games originated in the physical theatre work of Jacques Lecoq. In the classroom they can be used as a warm up to increase student focus and interest, as a useful, accessible metaphor to describe intellectual practice, as kinetic learning, and as a way to encourage participation and risk-taking.

    Please wear comfortable clothes and shoes. This is not a physically taxing workshop, but we will move. The workshop is designed to be accessible.
