Educator

Rafael Molina graduated both from Sciences Po Paris with a research master in political theory and from the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. He is teaching dance and specifically Graham Technique throughout France and Europe. He has also taught English at the Université de Paris for the Computer Science Bachelor program and the Mathematics Master program.

Rafael believes in a modern and innovative pedagogy. Both the content and the learning process must be constantly rethought within an evolving environment. He considers care, trust, integrity, empathy, and self-knowledge central to quality teaching. His teaching approach respects individual specificities (bodies, histories, abilities) and encourages autonomy.  He creates a safe space for his students to explore their singularities as individuals/artists, in order to unlock possibilities for artistic interpretation.

Rafael is also the Founder and Artistic Director of Graham For Europe, a network connecting the Graham professionals in Europe. The online platform lists all the teachers and classes in European countries and features content about the technique, the teaching process and Graham-based opportunities. The projects aims to connect this community and foster collaboration: master classes, workshops, conferences, exchanges.
