Join us at the University of Portsmouth to explore issues of displacement, adaptation and culture at this seminar.<\/p>\n

It is human nature to travel, migrate and move. These movements can be viewed as voluntary or forced, economic or political, desirable or reprehensible. Regardless of how it is categorized, mobility is often an opportunity for learning. Many of us are familiar with the stimulating effect of going to a new place, with different languages and customs to be learned, and opportunities for socialising, work and pleasure to be had.<\/p>\n

Taking dance as both a demonstration and a metaphor of the power of human movement, this informal, panel-based seminar will explore how cultural adaptability and creative thinking are strongly related to the long history and present-day realities of journeys, which may be taken for all kinds of reasons. Join this discussion, featuring specially invited leading performers, academics and artists from around the UK.<\/p>\n

We are proud to announce the seminar will be introduced by\u00a0Professor\u00a0Pal Ahluwalia<\/a>\u00a0who will be joined by our expert panelists as follows:<\/p>\n

Dr Patti Gaal-Holmes<\/a><\/div>\n
Aakash Odedra<\/a>\u00a0(lead choreographer of #Jesuis)<\/div>\n
Dr Cathy Seago<\/a><\/div>\n
Dr Amanda Rogers<\/a><\/div>\n
Dr Umut Erel<\/a><\/div>\n
Stephen Shropshire<\/a><\/div>\n

The discussion will be chaired by\u00a0Dr Marius Kwint<\/a><\/p>\n
