Well Bee - I've just finished my PhD looking at creativity in primary level dance education so I could brainstorm for hours about it. I'm particularly interested in the collaborative and communal approach to creativity that dance and other performing art forms bring to education and how others might learn from the approaches therein - not just in an instrumental way, ie dance used in the curriculum for other ends, but working in dance as an embodied, collaborative, communal way of understanding that slightly pushes against more individualised approaches to creativity that are around. Lots of work to do to shift the balance I think!
