The ALRA North Advanced Diploma in Applied Creative Movement 2015
This vocational course offers a small cohort of movement practitioners (no more than 4) the opportunity to develop skills in facilitating and creating projects that involve engaging diverse members of the community in creative movement activities. The course has been developed to include learning experiences within the applied movement industry and will be tailored to the needs of the cohort.
On completion of the diploma learners will have experienced planning, delivering and evaluating applied creative movement projects within an educational, theatrical and community setting. Drawing purely on the principles of actor movement training and movement direction, the learner will be supported to accumulate their own practice through verbal, written and experiential reasoning.
