Abstract

This viewpoint draws together some of the ideas and thoughts shared by the contributors to the conference closing plenary. Convened with an interest to bring together a range of perspectives, the closing plenary invited five practitioners (Funmi Adewole Elliott, Henrietta Hale, Rosemary Lee, Kate Marsh and Diego Pizarro) to reflect on future considerations for Dance and Somatic Practices.
