Panel Discussion: Hostilities, Reconciliation, and Interventions through Dance
October 15, 2014
This panel discussion will occur on Thursday, October 23, 5:00 - 6:30pm in Leah Smith Recital Hall.
Hostilities are flourishing around the globe, online, in the air, on the ground. What does dance have to do with addressing reducing hostilities and promoting reconciliation? Come and find out how two remarkable, resilient, and thoughtful women use dance, movement observation, and dance-making to intervene and redirect such enmities around the planet. Pascal da Rocha will lead the discussion from his years of experience as a peacemaker for the United Nations and related organizations.
