Summer Intensive - August book now - only a few places!!!

Here is the information about our exciting Summer Intensive this year (August 14-18th 2017). The Intensive is a week long bringing together somatic movement and art practices and writing. It is a great way to explore your voice in dance scholarship and practice. Or focus in on something you want to write or create. The link below will take you to a site where you can find out more about the course. 
(It is also nice to note that you can book accommodation at theUniversity for as little as £20 a night right here  in London!) Hope to see you in August. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thoughts after the morning discussion group (May 7th 2017)


I was thinking about the idea of vulnerability. A word we talked about in the morning discussion group in terms of the vulnerability of the researcher. Thinking about vulnerability I started to think about its connection to fear. Does vulnerable have to be connected to fear? Is fear always detrimental? The word (vulnerable) can be to do with fear, defencelessness and weakness. But there is also something about the vulnerability we cultivate as artists which is about being open, exposed and sensing. I wonder how at are ‘open’ as researchers. One of BAPP students has been inquiring into vulnerability in her practice http://victoriamayvickers.blogspot.co.uk.
