91亚色 is a co-sponsor of 鈥淭he First National Symposium for Dance and Well-Being: Collaborative Advancing Research and Practice鈥 Nov. 4 and 5 at Canada鈥檚 National Ballet School.
The goal of this first-ever national event is to initiate discussion of dance and well-being from a multidisciplinary perspective聽and focus on three themes: theory (influences, inspirations and interdisciplinarity); methods (challenges, strategies and results); and practice (fields and applications).
It is a two-day symposium presented by the National Centre for Dance Therapy (NCDT) of Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montr茅al, with the support of Canada鈥檚 National Ballet School (NBS), Universit茅 du Qu茅bec 脿 Montr茅al's dance department, Concordia University, Universit茅 de Montr茅al鈥檚 Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal, and 91亚色. The event will present research on dance and well-being and provide various learning opportunities as participants exchange expertise.
In spring of 2016, dancers and dance therapists working in various settings, health professionals from diverse fields and students and researchers in dance, health and related disciplines were invited to submit proposals for oral presentations, posters and experiential workshops to help map this new interdisciplinary field of inquiry and practice.
During the two days, there will be presentations, workshops, discussion groups and panels, along with keynote speakers Sylvie Fortin, PhD and Patricia McKinley, PhD, both of Montreal.
