Patricia Stokoe (Buenos Aires, 1919-1996) dancer and pedagogue, creator of Body Expression-Dance and Sensory Perception. At 19 her interest in movement and dance was evident and she traveled to London to study classical dance at the Royal Academy of Dance in London and modern dance with Agnes De Mille. During World War II he joined the Anglo-Polish ballet company and taught his first classes in municipal schools in London, at the London Country Council. During this time he expanded his perspectives with the avant-garde movements that sought new artistic expressions and the concept of free dance started by Isadora Duncan. Likewise, from a pedagogical angle she learned the pedagogical techniques of body awareness and movement from Moshé Feldenkrais, and Rudolf Von Laban’s research on movement in time and space. With all this baggage she returns to Argentina and creates -Body expression- dance which is a body language where, through practice, the person develops. Her objective was to generate in each student the creation of their own dance that would allow them to represent themselves and express their own experiences, ideas and emotions through body language. Since 1950, her new way of doing dance, her proposals and experiences spread throughout Latin America and other countries. Body expression was integrated as a component of musical education in Cuba in 1972.
