Supporting Dancers’ Health: A Journey into Workload Monitoring & Wellbeing
Come join us for an enlightening event focused on dancers’ health!
In this talk, Theano Vikatou will share insights from her research in collaboration with the English National Ballet, focusing on how workload monitoring can enhance the physical and mental health of professional dancers.
She will discuss the methods used to track training and performance demands and how this data is used to inform injury prevention, recovery, and overall wellbeing strategies.
As part of the wider creative industries -which include sectors like theatre, music, and design -dance presents unique physical and emotional demands, making this research relevant to anyone interested in sustaining healthy creative careers.
The session will also explore ways we can better support artist wellbeing and invite discussion on sustainable practices across creative fields.
This in-person event will take place at the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability. Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the world of dancer health and wellness!
