We all learn with and through our bodies.
Reading a book.
Leaning closer to a painting,
then stepping back.
Taking notes.
Making gestures while talking on the phone.
Walking on a specific pace.
We all learn with and through our bodies.
My work and research are situated in art museums and center museum visitors' bodies. I propose a Body Based Pedagogy (BBP) in the galleries that works against the binary and the mutation of the sensational self. While I consciously use the word body, I perceive the self as a body-mind-spirit entity.
Body Based Pedagogy in the Galleries (BBPiG) can be a movement around the artwork, a sigh, a step forward, or crossed arms. It can be a facilitated meditation, a drama pose, simple gestures --body based educational practices that nurture meaning-making. But it can be more than that.
We also run independent, interactive tours in awesome museums and exhibitions. These are for anyone who thinks art is boring and tours are so last year. Let's experience some art together!

walks
Chicago
In these workshops, docents and museum educators explore ways of learning through and with the body, within the galleries. In this way, they enrich the ways they engage their museum visitors.

UMMA
During one-time workshops or through a series of workshops, toddlers play and learn with their bodies, by expanding the ways of learning.

What can teachers do with their students when visiting a museum gallery? Well, they can do storytelling through drama! In this workshop we share tips and all the steps to get there.

In these after School clubs students build a story with their own bodies. These workshops help students to understand their bodies and create new meanings within their own narrative.

How can teachers incorporate students' bodies in their every day practices? In these workshops we play with our bodies in order to amplify teachers' power as educators.
