Ways of Capturing Conversations among professional dancers and people concerned with dancing

[Pat Black]

Hi spark,
I work with a group of people here in Minnesota that work for a state art
agency called Perpich Center for Art Education.  Your email immediately made
me think of them and some of the work they do working with artists and
dancers in particular.  We use some descriptive protocols to capture what
people see and what that could mean.   The program was designed for teachers
to develop more artful teaching practices but I think you may find it to be
relevant to your needs.  The process is totally descriptive so no ego
problems.  Here is a link to their website which describes some of the work
they are doing
http://opd.mpls.k12.mn.us/Perpich_Center_for_Arts_Education_Artful_Online.html.
 The protocols are in the Artful Teaching and Learning book which you can
access through the site.  As luck would have it one of their peer coaches is
in Seoul teaching for the coming year.  She is very skilled and could
possibly help you become familiar with the process and how it could help you
in your need.  Her name is Lisa Thompson and her email is
lisamarenthompson at mac.com<http://mail.google.com/mail/contacts/ui/ContactManager?js=RAW&maximize=true&hide=true&position=absolute&hl=en&emailsLink=true&sk=true&titleBar=false&border=NONE&eventCallback=ParentStub1251205074906&zx=s0v2ke7ighfr#>
.

To clarify this is not a variation of OST.  It is a way to describe,
formulate questions, uncover personal responses, discover connections and
speculate about what is present.  Judgement is easily threshed from the seed
of experience and yet there is space for personal responses as well.  Lisa
is very skilled and an all around lovely person.
Hope that is is possible for you to connect.
