Embodied Cognition in Dance: In conversation with the Head of the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Malta
At Dance Education Canada, we encourage dance educators to offer their dancers so much more than a physical experience in their dance classes. In order to bridge the gap between dance education and dance training, we need to foster an all-encompassing understanding of dance for our dancers. Part of this “whole dance education experience” includes embodied cognition. What is embodied cognition? Why do we need to talk about it and what will it look like in our dance classes? Providing us with answers to these questions and more is the Head of the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Malta, Dr. Lucia Piquero Alvarez.
GUEST: Dr. Lucía Piquero-Alvarez trained in Classical Ballet and read for a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in Spain. She then studied contemporary dance training at The Place, London, received her MA in Choreography from Middlesex University, and completed her PhD at Roehampton University. She is currently head of the Dance Studies Department at the University of Malta. She researches embodied cognition and the experience of emotion in dance. She has presented her research and choreographic works internationally for numerous conferences, commissions, and residencies. She has also directed several choreographic practice-as-research projects.
