  • 2/14 The Intellectual Benefits of Playfulness

     

    Thursday, Feb 14         12:30-1:45           The intellectual benefits of playfulness: bringing play into your class through complicity games

    Location: 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.
