Dance Therapy Research Day 2023: Past - Present - Future
Current research perspectives on dance therapy in German-speaking countries.
In light of serious societal changes that have taken place since the last Dance Therapy Research Day in 2019, we cast our eyes on the past, present and future of dance therapy with the Dance Therapy Research Day 2023.
From a variety of perspectives we examine body concepts and their significance for dance and therapy and we search for ways of transformation that open up healing spaces of a simultaneity of what separates and what connects: What historical self-understanding is there to question in dance therapy? On which social positioning is our dance therapy practice based? Which interdisciplinary impulses set dance therapy in motion and direct it towards the future?
We are looking forward to movements of search, critical self-reflections and lively debates!
