In other words, dance educators tend to concern themselves with why students should dance rather than why…

Hunter, Mary Ann – Research in Drama Education, 2008
Performance-making and peace-building are processes predicated on the production of safe space. But what is "safe space"?

Mackinlay, Elizabeth – Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, 2001

Mackinlay, Elizabeth – Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, 2001
A White Australian professor of a class on Indigenous women's dance has her Aboriginal sister-in-law conduct workshops on Indigenous dance. The classroom dynamics resulting from the complex power relationships (teacher as White woman, Aboriginal family member, and students) disturbs Western paradigms. The responsibility of "safely…
