“All students deserve a curriculum that mirrors their own experience back to them, upon occasion—thus validating it in the public world of the school. But the curriculum must also insist upon the fresh air of windows into the experience of others...”—Emily Style in the Oak Knoll School monograph Listening for All Voices, Summit, NJ, 1988 © Emily Style

Many of the tools and principles in these dance exchanges were pioneered at THE PERFORMANCE LAB™ (TPL), national leader in innovative interactive arts experiences using technology. As an affiliate of TPL for seven years, Diane Aldis draws from quality teaching practices known collectively as the TPL™ Model and developed by Rick Hauser, TPL™Co-
Founder; Nancy Mason Hauser, Videographer; their associates, and arts partners.
