The EcoSomatics Conversations Series invites sharing of engagement, practices and thinking around environmental awareness through embodiment activities, dance and art. It posits a definition of EcoSomatics as of the body-mind-ecology and takes the form of open public dialogues between two (or more) people: independent artists, practitioners, and academics.
The project was conceived by Dr Polly Hudson, (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham City University), and the conversations are co-convened with Dr Karen Wood, (Birmingham Dance Network and C-DaRE).
The conversations took place virtually with a large international audience and there is no fee to attend. The podcasts are audio recordings of the live events.
It is supported by funding from Arts, Design, and Humanities Faculty Research Investment Scheme, Birmingham City University.
Series two is coming in Autumn 2025.
