Project description
Integrating dance and environmental awareness
Climate change is a challenge that requires immediate action. Mobilising the arts and advanced technologies is crucial for building resilience. Can dance play a role in raising ecological awareness in this effort? The EU-funded ETD project will answer this question. Specifically, it will explore how dance can promote awareness of and encourage proactive responses to climate change. The project focuses on enhancing climate change education and advocacy in Malta by examining existing initiatives that integrate dance and environmental themes. It redefines dance as a catalyst for ecological consciousness, incorporating environmental awareness into artistic expression. The project also investigates the complex relationship between dance and the natural environment while pioneering the use of AI technology in dance research.
Objective
“Environmental Turn of Dance: Convergence of Therapeutic Practice, Art Creation with AI and Community Practice” (ETD) is a groundbreaking research endeavor poised at the nexus of dance studies, environmental philosophy, and AI technology. The project seeks to investigate how dance can effectively generate awareness of, and proactive responses to, the challenges posed by climate change. Specifically, the research will evaluate existing initiatives, performances, and collaborations that integrate dance and climate change and identify the ways in which dance can contribute to climate change education, advocacy, and the promotion of sustainable practices in Malta.
With urgency stemming from contemporary ecological challenges, ETD aims to redefine the role of dance as a catalyst for ecological consciousness, addressing the why of our environmental crisis in a novel, embodied manner. The current moment demands immediate action in reshaping our relationship with the environment. ETD acknowledges the pressing need to infuse environmental awareness into artistic expression. This urgency aligns with global concerns for climate change and ecological well-being, propelling us to address environmental issues creatively, fostering a sustainable future.
Methodologically, this project seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between dance and the natural environment, shedding light on unexplored dimensions. Moreover, ETD pioneers the integration of AI technology into dance research, emphasizing innovation and collaboration. This approach marries creative artistry with cutting-edge tools, enabling dynamic exploration of ecological themes.
ETD exemplifies my profound interdisciplinary expertise. My recent international projects have skillfully developed intersectional knowledge, bridging dance studies, environmental philosophy, AI technology. Therefore, ETD will build TRIPLE-I dimension (International, Intersectoral and Interdisciplinarity) and integrate diverse expertise.
