Selected Participant Feedback
“I have appreciated the explicit links between decolonial, inclusive and ecological approaches to dance and research. It is wonderful to have a forum through which to explore the connections between anti-hegemonic practices in a joint framework.”

“I’ve learned about reconciling ecological challenges, about incorporating entangled voices and building a dialogue. That horizontality is not an utopia but a process, it is not a goal but a path.”
