Is it possible for movement to communicate something that can’t be said with words? Dancer Catherine Long was born with one arm and impaired hip and knee joints. She’ll be demonstrating how her practice allows her to communicate ideas about the body that are impossible for her to say with words.

Central to Catherine’s work is the individual and collective body, the subjective and objective experience with a focus on observation and perception. Catherine has a BA (Hons) in Arts Therapies and is artist in residence at the Institute for Cognitive Neuroscience in London, working with neuroscientists Professor Patrick Haggard and Dr Beatriz Calvo-Merino, and performance maker/psychotherapist Frank Bock. She has also been working with Heidi Latsky Dance in New York since April 2008.
