The Education and Research & Practice Committees present a collaborative initiative aimed at addressing key questions in the field of dance/movement therapy (DMT). Focused on the intersection of education and research, our workshop will explore innovative approaches for teaching the next generation of dance/movement therapists, while incorporating cutting-edge research findings. By examining emerging areas such as social justice and neuroscience, we aim to foster a dynamic dialogue that promotes growth and ensures the integration of new knowledge into DMT education. Join us as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of DMT, bridging the gap between research and education.
