7th International Conference of Dalcroze Studies: “Building bridges through music and movement: Inspire, Imagine, Transcend”

Conference theme

ICDS7 aims to present the best ongoing research and practices within Dalcroze Studies and related fields. ICDS is a global, transdisciplinary forum, open to viewpoints from education, the arts and humanities, and the social, health, and life sciences. We welcome practitioners and scholars alike.

This year’s theme is “Building bridges through music and movement: Inspire, Imagine, Transcend“. Now more than ever, in times of increasing uncertainty, whether societal, ecological, academic, or educational, building bridges is a necessary pathway towards a world that values and fosters diversity, inclusion, and equity; a world that imagines possibilities, and that grows through mutual respect and cross-fertilization.

Music and movement have always been powerful ways to connect people, value differences, appreciate and inspire each other, imagine new ways of interacting, and transcend boundaries. Therefore, at ICDS7, we will explore various perspectives on music and movement and how they may inspire and support building bridges between each other, our practices, and our (musical) communities.
