Abstract

This article reflects upon an experience of facilitating somatic movement and dance improvisation in a university as a non-traditional context for these practices. This was part of a short post-doctoral research project held in 2021-22 called Moving the modes of encounter: Embodying (in) equalities in the university responding to the theme of equity, diversity and inclusion. It explores the ethics of encounters between the researcher and the institution; the researcher and the participants; and between the participants themselves. It argues for the affordances of somatic practices on developing foundations of trust, and the limits posed by institutional constraints on duration and timing with the aim to inform future attempts of doing somatics in non-traditional contexts.
