Dear colleagues, comrades and friends, I am writing to let you know about a 2 credit PhD/MA seminar in Helsinki, Finland, January 17-19 2023 (with a disability dance day afterward): “Diverse Embodiment in Performance Phenomenology,” a seminar that focuses on performance phenomenology with an interest in timely problems in embodiment in theatre, dance and performance and live art. Join us if you are interested in arts-based research methods and approaches to/from/with disability culture.
