Lecture and discussion

The contribution of dance-based creative health practices to health and well-being at all stages of life is increasingly recognised. This webinar explores the role of creativity and embodiment in dance and health interventions, with a focus on the relational and epistemological challenges at the intersection of art and science. It emphasises the necessity of shared frameworks, a common language, and more inclusive approaches to generating evidence. The presentation offers insights into the dynamics of interdisciplinary collaboration and outlines the implications for future policy, practice, and professional development.

This webinar is the fifth from the Webinar-Series organized by International Network for the Critical Appraisal in Arts and Health Research (INCAAHR). The series brings together leading researchers, artists, and clinicians internationally to explore both the strengths and limitations of arts in health and of current evidence for the value of arts in health, and to assess the extent of evidence-based arts-for-health practice. The aim is to foster a transdisciplinary and rigorous discussion on what the arts can realistically contribute to wellbeing and health and how to advance future research, policy, and practice development.

The Salzburg series Music & Medicine presents scientific and artistic contributions from leading international experts in various disciplines to explore the interactions and mechanisms between the experience, processing and psycho-physiological impact of music on humans and to understand how music may promote health and wellbeing.
