Handbook

We warmly welcome you to Coventry University and the 6th International Dance and Somatic Practices Conference. This is the first conference since 2019, when we celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the Journal of Dance and Somatic Practices, from which this conference grew. We also want to acknowledge that this also is the first conference since the COVID-19 pandemic and many things in our lives both on a small and large scale are different. We are very pleased to be able to gather with so many members of the dance and somatic communities in person and now also online. 

Please take some time to read the information in the Handbook and other documents below which we hope will support your participation in the conference whether in person or online. This is the first year that we have made the majority of the conference programme hybrid, so please do bear with us and we ask your patience as we learn how to navigate this new environment. We look forward to spending the next few days in your company and hope that you will enjoy your time in Coventry with us, leaving the conference inspired and refreshed!

*Please note that the workshops will allow time for traveling between venues if you are attending sessions that come one after another in different venues.*
