Flyer for Symposium Session: Centering plus Reframing

This session centers dance and movement experiences that are rooted in one’s own unique environment. Elizabeth Shea’s approach readies the bodymind to receive information, awaken feeling and kinetic empathy, to explore the wide range of movement possibilities available to 21st Century movers. Maggie Bridger and Deborah Goodman’s research on 20th Century American Modern dance pioneer Doris Humphrey, reframes Humphrey’s experiences of pain as essential to the development of her technique.

Centering Lived Experiences: A Somatic Approach to Contemporary Dance and Movement Practice | Elizabeth Shea (University of Indiana) – embodied workshop

Recovering Doris Humphrey: Disability as Method in Dance History & Technique | Maggie Bridger (University of Illinois-Chicago) + Deborah Goodman (Loyola University) – paper presentation
