Next week I will join dear friends and distinguished colleagues in Hamburg for a workshop on 'Alevism through Emotions'. It is exciting to go back to Hamburg after many years (should be 17!).

Grazie #francescaalbanese

Both as previous recipient of the Ivor Guest Research Grant and now as co-chair of the Society for Dance Research, I can’t urge you more to come to this event! It will be online and it’s free although we’re inviting donations to continue offering the grants in the future ;)

With presentations by Dr Adesola Akinleye, Professor Ann R. David, Christina Fulcher and Ruth Anna Phillips on topics including the tools of neurodiversity in theatre and dance processes, transdisciplinarity, and image permissions for publication ⬇️ Do not miss it!

Hello Bluesky!

We are excited to be sharing the recordings from our past Choreographic Forums in case they are of interest to any practitioners or dance researchers ⬇️

The project was funded by an #ivorguestresearchgrant from the @sdanceresearch.bsky.social and a Study grant from the @thebiaankara.bsky.social

Delighted to share news of a free in-person workshop I've co-organised in May at the ILCS (@ilcs.bsky.social) to discuss the need for explicitly antifascist pedagogies against the rising tide of far-right support and what that practice would look like.

So happy that the Kurdish poet we campaigned for at PEN Norway during the past 5 years is finally free!!

Ilhan Sami Çomak was arrested and tortured as a student 30 years ago - at last he is united with freedom!

Great work by everyone! Here is his poetry:
