Movement not required
Likely soothing
This presentation will discuss how the discipline of community psychology approaches embodied sexuality and how this theoretical framework is applied to dance, community building, and feminism.
This presentation explores the benefits of embodied practice while, uniquely, shifting the focus from the individual to its application in the community setting. American social inequalities in regards to sexism & patriarchal institutions will be reviewed, and countered with tangible strategies that are founded in embodied practice (dance), community building, and self-exploration.
