International Webinar
The Body's Expression of Safety in a Global Pandemic
On June 6, 2020, Dr. Christina Devereaux offered a perspective for understanding children's emotional communication through the body. She helps the viewer understand how, through socially engaged movement experiences, we can support children in calming their nervous system and creating a sense of bodily safety.
The practical dance and movement exercises presented by Dr. Devereaux can therefore become an essential tool to support children in the period of uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

NPR: THE COLIN McENROE SHOW: SHALL WE DANCE?
Why do we dance? Dancing has served a multitude of functions for various cultures throughout history, and there is even evidence to suggest we, as a species, are biologically hard-wired to dance. Whether it's for social, for spiritual , or even psychological reasons (yes, dance therapy is a thing), humans have been dancing since the very beginning. In this hour of NPR's The Colin McEnroe show, all things dance from ancient history, to modern, Hollywood dance movies are discussed.
