RE-IMAGINING EMBODIMENT, ART & LEARNING

CORPoREAL explores the aesthetic, cultural and educational values and possibilities of knowledge in this field for the artist and society. We do this in numerous short and long-term projects.

TEAM OF EXPERTS

Our research team brings together extensive expertise not only within dance, drama, music and arts education, but also within (practice-based) scientific research, inclusion, philosophy, psychology, performance art, visual arts, and so on.
