Abstract

I think arts education in the world has refugeed in the easiest issues to solve and in tune with current technocratic policies: a teaching attached to the vertigo of proven techniques (primarily in music and dance) and the treatment of theory as dogma, not as reflection. Supposedly, this facilitates the transmission of information, especially if the contents are standardized and are broken into shorter fragments, depending on the subject. The poetics of dance education is heading to become artists as individuals who have a creative disposition towards life. In the field, whether artistic or not, what is learned allows the creative reformulation of the world. This implies the presence of a teacher to solve society’s schizophrenia in his teaching, addressing the “do-feel” and thinking of the principles of art, at all times.
