Suggestions and Thoughts on Integrating Environmental Choreography into Dance Teaching in Higher Education

Abstract

This paper explores the implementation of environmental choreography in higher education dance teaching. The aim is to better engage students in social and environmental issues through movement, and to promote the development of a more sustainable and conscious society. The paper proposes a framework for implementing environmental choreography in dance courses, including strategies for selecting relevant topics, designing movement sequences, and evaluating outcomes. The paper also presents case studies from universities in different regions, illustrating how environmental choreography has been successfully integrated into dance curricula and highlighting some challenges that still need to be addressed. Ultimately, this research contributes to the ongoing discussion on the role of arts in promoting sustainability and social change.
