ResDance Series 6: Episode 10: Dance, Touch and Awareness, - Reflections on somatic-informed research and practice with Natalie Garrett Brown In the episode, Natalie shares insight into her experiences and interests in dance, somatic practices, performance philosophy and feminist inquiry. We explore the role of somatic informed research and practice and how these can bring attention to the body in relation to moving practices, making processes and the relationship to the self.  Throughout the episode, Natalie reflects upon the shared sense of principles and philosophies that embodied knowledge can bring in experiencing the moving body and advocates the value of dance research, throughout. Dr Natalie Garrett Brown undertook her dance training and education at Trinity Laban and London Contemporary Dance School completing her PhD at Roehampton University in the areas of Dance, Somatic Practices and Performance Philosophy. She is also a trained executive Coach and Somatic Movement Educator and is currently Dean, Faculty of Arts, Science and Technology at the University of Northampton. Her practice and research interests are situated within feminist understandings of embodied subjectivity and the ways in which somatic and reflective practices can inform dance performance, dance making and performance philosophy. Most recently this took the form of a 3-year research project Sensing the City supported by the AHRC (2017-2020). Natalie is Chair for Dance HE and founding member of enter and inhabit, a site-responsive collaborative project and editor of the Dance and Somatic Practices Journal and related international conference series.
