Call for submissions for volume 2!


Holding Space and Bearing Witness through Drama + Dance


The second edition of Provocations: Drama+Dance invites contributors to consider how we hold space and engage students with storying through acts of deep listening, seeing, and presencing. We would love to share your real, everyday experiences of drama and dance in the classroom!

Here are some provocations that we hope might stimulate a story, an article, a review, or an art expression:

➔   What does bearing witness mean to you? To your students?

➔   In what ways can bearing witness to “the world as it is” catalyse students to take action towards creating “the world as it should be”?

➔   How have you gone about creating a courageous space? How is a courageous space different than a safe space?

➔   How have you designed your space, physically and socially, to encourage deep listening, seeing, and reflecting?

➔   How have artist-teacher partnerships supported holding space and bearing witness?
