Creative Body Based Learning

Public Pedagogies Institute Conference 2018
Footscray, Melbourne

Thursday November 22, 1.30pm

Creative Body Based Learning (CBL) is a method that utilises arts based strategies to mobilise the aesthetic, cognitive and affective domains of participants. This workshop led by Belinda MacGill will use CBL strategies with participants to explore the affordances of public pedagogy and ways in which to mobilise arts based strategies in public sites.

Using embodied arts pedagogies to promote engagement (Dawson and Lee 2018) through meaning making strategies is a creative response to advance the power of collective community knowledge in the public sphere.

This workshop is underpinned by relational aesthetics through co-construction that will culminate in a set of strategies for participants to mobilise in their own sites.

Belinda MacGill is a lecturer, artist and researcher at University of South Australia. Her primary research interests draw on the fields of Indigenous education, postcolonial theory, visual methodologies, arts pedagogy (Dawson 2013) and critical race theory.
