What exactly is Dance Science? What are the main foundations that constitute its rich and detailed history? Given dance's unique position at the intersection of arts and sports, it was inevitable that this field would eventually enter the mainstream. One pioneering institution that played a crucial role in this transformation was the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, with one individual standing out as a driving force behind this revolution – Professor Emma Redding.
Professor Emma Redding is a distinguished practitioner, educator, and researcher in contemporary dance and performance science. Prior to her role as Director of the VCA, she served as Professor in Performance Science and Head of Dance Science at Trinity Laban. Her contributions include co-authoring the first-ever Master's degree in Dance Science and being a key figure in establishing dance science as a recognized field of study in Higher Education. She has also assumed leadership roles as a founding partner of the UK's National Institute for Dance Medicine and Science and as a Past President of IADMS.
Kickstarting a brand new season and month of Dance Science, this episode delves into its foundations, significance in the performing arts, and how it could become an integral part of every dancer's education.
