Workshop with Burnaby teachers on February 28 2020 Pro D

We had a wonderful workshop with Burnaby elementary and secondary teachers on Friday February 28 in the dance lab at Burnaby North Secondary School. Fifteen teachers and teacher librarians participated (about half from elementary and middle years and half from secondary). We introduced the historical and modern contexts of labyrinths, experimented with drawing and predicting the shapes of classical labyrinths from different seeds, made a large labyrinth on a 20' square large tarp, and successfully did the Gardner's Double Appleton Labyrinth Dance (with a few experimental moments, naturally)!

Many thanks to Burnaby Science and Math Coordinator Donna Morgan, and Pro D Coordinators including Mati Bernabei and Phil Byrne and all the participants for a satisfying and successful learning experience.
