Repertory Dance Theatre's education programs increase critical thinking and nonverbal reasoning skills, develop the ability to communicate as part of a group, encourage groups to work collaboratively, improve individual kinesthetic and spatial learning, as well as intra- and interpersonal knowledge of self and others. RDT’s nationally recognized and lauded Arts In Education (AIE) programs offers students and teachers across Utah much more than exercise or entertainment.
Repertory Dance Theatre is dedicated to the creation, performance, perpetuation, and appreciation of modern dance. Whether welcoming the community—physically or digitally—to our home at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in Salt Lake City or traveling to urban and rural locations around Utah, RDT builds community wherever we go; celebrating mutual and singular histories, aspirations, and experiences through performances, workshops, classes, and community- and school-based residencies.
RDT uses dance as a way to
help people become more:
This Lesson Plan came from the work the company did with choreographer Kaley Pruitt on a work called HOLD. It is based on the idea of abstracting different words and their meaning into movement. The dancers went through this lesson plan as they created movement for the piece under the direction of the choreographer.
In this lesson explore the structure of an essay through movement. Students will develop their own movement theme, create introduction and conclusion paragraphs, as well as form the body of their essay. This lesson involves collaboration between students.
Students will take inspiration from the choreographer Charles Moulton and his community based ball passing choreography. Students will learn basic ball passing movements and rhythms and create their own way of ball passing with their friends.
Students will explore energy qualities and relationships within a group using inspiration from organisms in the Great Salt Lake food chain.
