Whole Body Math & Curriculum-linked creative movement residencies
Whole Body Math(prek -2nd grade) is an innovative math program that explores numbers and math through the physical body. We first explore new pathways and connections of movement through changing levels, tempo and some silly body parts as leaders. Students will be encouraged to move dynamically and creatively while crossing the mid-line & challenging their balance all while doing math!. Grades preK-2 will play moving math games to solidify numerical concepts. Book connections: Giraffes Can't Dance, From head to Toe Heidi recently created a residency with the Women's league in Harford centered around ramps and building (and moving) creatively with large foam blocks! Book Connections: Mama Zooms, Roll Slope and Slide Heidi can build a movement linked residency for your topic- inquire about what is possible! |
If there's a natural rhythm in everything, Heidi Kirchofer and Joel Melendez just may have tapped into it. Whether it's the pulsating beat of the D'jembe, the spectacular manipulation of fire, the delicate balance of a unicycle or the fluidity of capoeira, Kirchofer and Melendez convey uncanny timing and gracefulness in their performances.
