– pg 204 from Larry Lavender Predock-Linnell & Jennifer Predock-Linnell (2001) From Improvisation to Choreography: The critical bridge, Research in Dance Education, 2:2, 195-209.
Maybe the authors should re-evaluate how they approach improvisation and practice it with the goal of developing “students’ critical consciousness.”
