Excited to share some of my research, reconnect with old friends, and meet new researchers at the CEST Winter Symposium in Napoli starting today! www.unior.it/en/node/3789

The pleasure of unboxing the latest issue of Dance Research, the journal of the Society for Dance Research —an organisation for which I was honoured to become co-chair this year, alongside the always brilliant Kathryn Stamp.

Ci hai lasciato con delle parole straordinarie come te. Nei commenti posto una traduzione in inglese perché vorrei davvero che il tuo messaggio viaggi lontano, e che anche chi non ti ha conosciuto possa capire un po’ di cosa stiamo parlando. Grazie zia... www.ilcentro.it/pescara/il-m...

Next week I will join dear friends and distinguished colleagues in Hamburg for a workshop on 'Alevism through Emotions'. It is exciting to go back to Hamburg after many years (should be 17!). www.religionen.uni-hamburg.de/alevitische-...

Hello Bluesky! We are excited to be sharing the recordings from our past Choreographic Forums in case they are of interest to any practitioners or dance researchers ⬇️

Delighted to share news of a free in-person workshop I've co-organised in May at the ILCS (@ilcs.bsky.social) to discuss the need for explicitly antifascist pedagogies against the rising tide of far-right support and what that practice would look like. Info here: ilcs.sas.ac.uk/events/devel...
