Insights in the Pedagogical Practices: Play and Dance | As featured at the ECLD 2023 Conference
"Practical Loose Parts"
Presented By: Angus Gorrie from The Outsiders: Play AdvocatesAs a playworker and play advocate, Angus Gorrie is passionate about providing authentic play opportunities for children, wherever they may be, and pushing back against increased play deprivation and play bias. Angus has qualifications in Behavioural Sciences and Psychology, Playwork and is currently working towards a Masters of Medical Research investigating how play (in the broadest sense) supports the mental health of children. He also spends his day as a practitioner working in a large OSHC Adventure Playground. It is this experience and the stories that come with working in a practical setting, combined with the theory and knowledge of study that shapes and guides Angus’s perspectives and points of view..Loose parts have become quite the buzz word and this has very mixed outcomes. On one hand it supports their exposure and likelihood they may be harnessed in play spaces dramatically improving the play value for children. On the other hand, it also increases the likelihood that they may be implemented superficially, without deeper appreciation for the theory (yes there is a theory) of loose parts and their importance as a play resource. This session will bust some myths about loose parts and discuss, from a theoretical and practical perspective how they are best provided to children.
"But I can’t dance"
Presented By: Trina BourkeDance is innate in children; they are compelled by expression of emotions. They are intrinsically motivated to move to express thought, feelings, wonder, and to experience the pure joy of their bodies in motion. With an increasing body of research about the benefits of dance, not only for physical development, but also so for mental wellbeing, it is time to reframe dance as creative playful movement and understand how it can be available for everyone.
