    Jun 14 2024

    In this episode we are joined by Dr Helen Kindred, a dance artist and scholar specialising in Bartenieff Fundamentals and Sandra Sok a dancer, performer and philosopher as they discuss their project FEMALEtraces and how this fed into the practice research shared in their book chapter. We explore Bartenieff Fundamentals and how this acted as a framework to explore movement in and with nature through a feminist lense.

  • Embodied experience of bodies with breasts with Amelia Millward and Dr James Brouner

    Embodied experience of bodies with breasts with Amelia Millward and Dr James Brouner
    Jun 7 2024
    In this episode we are joined by Amelia Millward and Dr James Brouner to discuss the experiences of bodies with breasts from both an experiential and a biomechanical standpoint. This conversation touches on the sexualisation of the female body in dance, personal experiences of dancers in the studio as well as the lack of research in this area, particularly in relation to the physiological and biomechanical impact. We hope that opening these discussions can break down taboos around topics such as this in dance. Amelia and James' chapter - Embodied experiences of bodies with breasts can be found in The 'Female' Dancer: a soma-scientific approach.
