GLENALLEN DATES 2010

MONDAYS, Time: 1.45 - 3.15pm, 7 Allen St. Glen Waverley VIC 3150

There will be the opportunity to join me at Glenallen School working with severely physically and mentally limited teenagers. I run a weekly 1.5hr transitional subject called ~Creative Dances~ for students who are leaving school at the end of the year and entering the next phase of their lives in day centres; this class offers them creative movement opportunities and self- expression. The teenagers are selected from the lowest responsive students and given opportunities for movement explorations offering resources for stimulating motivation by connecting to various props, dances and inviting imagination at play. This class is open for assistance from the Dance Therapy and the Expressive Arts community. An opportunity to offer your voluntary services in exchange for work experience and insightful engagement. Funded by the Duke of Edinburgh Program. Your 'Working with Children' Card is mandatory for participation in this program. Let me know if you can commit to one, some or all. Email or phone Tiana for 2010 dates and any inquiries.
