Dance, development, and dissociation | Luc Vanier | TEDxUWMilwaukee

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Understanding our own locomotion can go a long way. Luc focuses on the more and more dissociated relationship between our more mental and physical aspects of our lives and how paying attention to how we move our bodies can help.

Luc Vanier is an Associate Professor, Graduate Program Director, and the Somatic Minor Co-Director in the Peck School of the Arts Department of Dance at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he teaches graduate and undergraduate students ballet, Alexander Technique, Composition, and Digital Media for Dance.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
