Profile | My specialty is dance and dance education. I have been involved in contemporary dance for many years and have created many works. I think to live is to keep expressing. And our body is the most familiar medium of expression. Currently, I am focusing on the “body” and studying the guidance and support of exercise and physical expression activities to foster the rich sensibility and creativity of children. Specifically, they include making a place and environmental structure for children to engage in exercise and physical expression activities by themselves, the study of the teachers' instructional language, the study of activity programs, and researching teaching materials. Recently, I am particularly interested in how music and sound materials affect improvisational physical expression activities. In addition, we listen to the voices of kindergarten and nursery teachers, such as "I want to engage in free and creative physical expression activities," study teaching materials together, and propose the “Exercise programs with parents and children” and workshops for teachers. |
