Extracts of this DVD will be presented and a film of Common Dance will also be screened at the symposium.Contributors include Dean of the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery at King’s College London; Jane Wiffin, Freelance Social Care Consultant; Joe Smith, Senior Lecturer in Environment at Open University; and, Artists, Graeme Miller and Florence Peake.Full details and programme soon to be announced.ResCen symposium presented in association with the Department of Drama, Queen Mary University of London, South East Dance and Artsadmin.
