Lean Into Co-Teaching

Co-Teaching is a space in which an educational ecosystem emerges. It creates an environment in which the sharing of knowledge and various physical as well mental practices can occur in an open-minded way and through constant exchange. Led by two or more teachers, co-teaching aims to create a space where the channels of communication are always kept open. By allowing spontaneity, adaptation, and improvisation into the space of knowledge transmission, co-teaching challenges more traditional educational approaches that are often built on a one-way flow of rehearsed knowledge. These sessions are half-structured and half-improvised choreographic situations in which teachers invite students to understand and share the teaching/learning process as a common cause. This format was developed by the members of the NDA network and other invited guests. 

Co-teaching is learning together 
Co-teaching is a place of shared practice 
Co-teaching is a place of surprises 
Co-teaching is trustful cooperation 
Co-teaching is a challenge

Since 2001 he works as a freelancer, and is one of the founding members of Fičo Ballet, in the frame of which, together with Goran Bogdanovski, he has performed or collaborated on many performances.

Between 1998 and 2001 he was a soloist at the SNG Opera and Ballet in Ljubljana. Within the frame of the NDA network, he researches innovative (co-)teaching methods. In 2008 he graduated at the Open University in London – (BA in Humanities).
