Dance … A Catalyst for Change
Abstract
As a dancer and dance teacher I was intrigued by the question of how dance could be a catalyst for change within a nation and what the process would be for such a statement to be true. After exploring the topic, I came to the conclusion that it is indeed possible.
In the video presentation we will look at what the underlying mechanism is for bringing about a change in society and ways in which this can be achieved. Specific examples of how it has been done before will be touched on, concluding with how we ourselves can be part of the solution to bring about a positive change in our sphere of influence.
This presentation is by video.
