In 2018, I moved to Oklahoma City University to pursue a Bachelors of Science in Dance Pedagogy. As a part of the honors program and an active member of the Ann Lacy School of American Dance and Entertainment community, I have dove headfirst into the lifelong endeavor of learning about all parts of the performing arts. Through OCU, I have been able to hone my skills as a performer, teacher and choreographer by performing in Home for the Holidays, taking specific course-work in Jazz, Tap and Ballet Pedagogy and choreographing for shows including Project21. https://www.christinasaliga.com/choreography daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082f13a2160c0795397bd2b/1619651024336-GINYJHR8K8AJSXH78GRX/image-asset.jpeg Choreography - Choreography as a Frame Central to all my choreography is the concept of framing. Dance and expressive movement has the capacity to express the deepest and most vibrant parts of the human experience. With the infinite possibilities of artistic expression and stories to be told, framing is necessary in order for chisel away at the artistic potential and create a viewable/perceivable work. As a choreographer, I use intentional movement to create a frame that allows for focused expression that resonates with and impacts the audience. https://www.christinasaliga.com/teaching daily 0.75 2022-01-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6082f13a2160c0795397bd2b/1619651638781-GNPD6LVTM6YRP9UXGEIH/image-asset.jpeg Teaching - Teaching Philosophy I view the role as dance teacher as both an honor and responsibility and hold myself to a high standard as a part of cultivating future dancers. Building on the incredible teachers within my own training, I aim to create a nurturing, empowering and inspiring learning environment. Constantly striving to find new imagery, explanations and teaching strategies, I aim to create a student-centered class that focuses on dance technique, artistry and the development of crucial life skills of discipline, creativity, community and confidence. https://www.christinasaliga.com/headshot-resumes daily 0.75 2024-02-07
