Autorenporträt
Vicky Karkou holds the Chair of Dance, Arts and Wellbeing at Edge Hill University. A qualified dance teacher, researcher and dance movement psychotherapist, she has lengthy experience of working with diverse clinical populations in different settings. She is widely published in peer-reviewed journals and books, and acts as the co-editor of the international journal Body, Movement and Dance in Psychotherapy published by Taylor and Francis. She travels extensively around the world for research and teaching purposes. Sue Oliver is a freelance dance tutor and researcher. Based in Scotland, she left her post as senior teacher and dance tutor for her local education authority to concentrate on her research in creative dance and wellbeing, focusing on children, adolescents, and latterly older adults, including seated movement to music in day care settings. Current projects include dance with sufferers of Parkinson's Disease and community-based choreographic projects. Sophia Lycouris is an academic interested in interdisciplinary research methodologies and research by creative practice. She is also an artist working with movement/dance, choreography, improvisation, performance and new technologies since the late 90s. Her work involves processes of "listening" to spaces and designing subtle movement interventions, which trigger affective transformations. Her academic projects on movement and new technologies have been funded by research councils and her artistic work has been presented in the UK, Europe, and USA.
