Donate to International Outreach Fund
One of our most exciting endeavors is supporting international students from Vietnam and Indonesia to study at the Mettler Studios' Creative Dance Teacher Training in Tucson. They came to Tucson after studying Mettler-based dance in their countries through an outreach we sponsored with Dancesequences, Inc. They ranged from university dance students, to staff members at shelters for victims of human trafficking, to community organizers, to teachers in community centers in poverty stricken neighborhoods. They came to study Mettler-based dance in order to bring it back to their communities and work through organizations such as Pacific Links Foundation and Hagar International in Vietnam, Yogyakarta Institute of Art in Indonesia, and Corazon de Nana in Peru.
Because of the pandemic it was not possible to for our teachers to travel to these countries nor to have students from them to come to the United States. Therefore beginning in February, 2022 we have developed online Teacher Training courses to be offered to students in Vietnam and Indonesia. These are in collaboration with Vietnam Dance Movement Therapy and Yogyakarta Institute of Arts respectively. In this world of increasing conflicts and divisiveness, art programming such as Mettler-based Creative Dance has become a vital component of community engagement and inclusiveness. We ask for your help to continue our international outreach. Happily with recent declines in transmission rates of COVID-19, 5 participants from our Zoom Teacher Training for Vietnam are hoping to come to Tucson to study in 2022 with Mettler Studios support.
