Enjoyed recording my #presentation - a #creative #arts approach to working with people living with #youngeronset #dementia and their families to support interpersonal engagement and enhance selfhood for the #Alzheimer's Disease International #conference.

Happy to share our recently published systematic review on the effectiveness of dance movement therapy and dance movement interventions on cancer patients’ health-related outcomes. link.springer.com/article/10.100… #dance #dancetherapy #danceresearch #systematicreview

Lovely to be invited to talk about our @ahrcpress funded project @TheCDRG at @CollEnc with @DrCliveH @TopsyAward 🎭🎨💃🎶🧘 @DerbyUni @DerbyUniPress

@EmilyRoseTweets @DrChrisBarnes He's the best ain't he

Beautiful words from @DrChrisBarnes: “Great researchers (and dancers) are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion!” How lucky I’ve been to have had that passion nurtured and steered by my wonderful supervisors! #PhDone #Phinished

Should access to an unpolluted night sky be a human right? I’m really looking forward to being part of this amazing panel discussion in a few days! #CommonsInSpace #darksky #protectthenight #nightskyconnectedness #nature @DerbyUniPsych @DerbyUniPress

On the board of a cultural organisation? We know board members are often short of time, so our Board Environmental Champions programme is designed to be light-touch & flexible, offering access to self-paced online training & guidance >> tinyurl.com/y3eyct9u

Interested in our dance for Dementia research in partnership with @scottishballet? We’ve just added a fab video to our website which showcases the workshop we held at @captheatres ed.ac.uk/health/researc…

@EmilyRoseTweets @DerbyUni They'd taste a bit funny too 🙈

@DrCollardStokes @DerbyUni Looked at the picture bottom left and thought “those bowls of crisps look a bit funny”….!

My first UG open day promoting the Creative Expressive Arts Health and Wellbeing degree at @DerbyUni. Offering a taste of drama, art, dance and music for wellbeing 😁

Another session @ChelwestFT @cwpluscharity performing on the children’s wards. We also spoke to children about ideas for our new dances. One boy was doing some origami by his bed & he helped us create hand gestures about folding #cocreation #cwplus #danceinhospitals

@EmilyRoseTweets @DrChrisBarnes How wonderful to see you

Quick morning coffee before setting off for a writing day with @DrCollardStokes and @DrChrisBarnes and there could only be one mug for the job! #ItsDrActually never gets old!
