Movement Matters: Global Body in Conflict Research Presentation

Mahaney Arts Center, Dance Theatre

Over the last year the Dance Department has researched Conflict Transformation through embodiment. In this presentation, we will share some of what we learned.

“When we speak of the ills of the world…
we are talking about things that happen to bodies.” — Sonya Renee Taylor

In dance we are encouraged to practice not knowing the answer, trying something new and asking questions. This approach can build intercultural communication, interdisciplinary problem solving, risk taking, empathy and curiosity. This is conflict transformation.
