I initially felt very uncomfortable and out of place during the movement workshops, and struggled to understand how they helped me synthesize or better understand the course readings and curriculum. I’ve also felt that I learn best from the traditional manner of reading and then discussing what I have read. The workshops made me realize that just as I felt awkward and confused during the choreography, some students feel that way during school. I too frequently assume that how I learn, or how I do anything, is the best way for everyone, when in reality it varies on an individual basis.
