Liberatory Dance Education: Curriculum Design for Justice-Oriented Futures

By: Buono, Alexia

This work invites purposeful pathways for dance educators to explore, gather, and grow in their efforts of building and sustaining solidarity with diverse and marginalized dancers, learners, colleagues, and communities. With celebration, joy, un/learning, and critical rigor, it journeys through the work of movement organizers, abolitionist educators, and radical dance educators and their transformative ideas, stories, and practices. The book shares an analysis of how these multi-disciplinary arenas can interconnect in dance education curriculum design processes in ways that support the needs and interests of dance learners and the need to transform society away from violence and oppression. To encourage these aims, it theorizes dance education, educators, and curriculum in broad, inclusive ways.
