Movement Residencies with Scott Stafford
Scott has worked as a teaching artist around The United States, and has been in residence with over 100 k-12 institutions - with 10 years of experience behind him. Through Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater, The Cowles Center for Dance, and independent efforts, his outreach has spanned dance technique and repertory, dance history, story telling through movement with senior populations, caring for the caregiver workshops with doctors, nurses, and hospice staff, and k-12 residencies focused on movement fundamentals, dance creation, and developing skills in artistic agency.
"Scott is amazing to work with! From the teacher's end he is organized, engaged, and dives all into his residencies. Working with him was a complete package from beginning to end, with pre-work planning, awesome teaching, and post-work reflections. From the students' perspective he was fun, a great dancer, and truly guided their mindset on being brave and comfortable in their own skin. He encourages self awareness, he builds confidence, and he engages them from the second they meet him." -
Ashley Mossey, 2nd Grade Teacher at Moreland.
