The conference will draw together our previous three workshops and will initiate discussions for future avenues of research. It is intended as a forum for scholars in the field of neuroscience, dance and therapy to present their work and develop interdisciplinary ideas. It will explore concepts such as embodiment, relationality, movement metaphor and narrative, advancing the practice of dance and dance movement psychotherapy in enabling wellbeing and supporting mental health. It will also expand our knowledge on applications of neuroscientific research in the arts and arts therapies more generally.
