Action Project proposal
Sophia Lurie
I plan to research common injuries among dancers and create and film exercise plans to help rehabilitate said injuries and help prevent said injuries. My audience would be both a scientific community as well as the dancing community. The question that drives the project would be along the lines of “what are the common injuries among dancers and how are the treated?” I want to create this list for my fellow dancers that struggled with these injuries which interfere with their growth as dancers. I find myself being asked these questions from junior dancers and want to be able to give them something more refined. This project combines both my expertise as a dancer as well as the exercise science I have learned while at PSU. This project will help guide dancers on how to help take care of their bodies so they can have longer healthier dance careers. I will create a list of common injuries and the common causes accompanied by them by oct. 30. Then I will add the list exercises and their scientific reasoning by Nov 15. Then I will film exercises with verbal explanation and posted to e port by Nov 29th as well as the research attached.
