“Fasci/a/nation Dance“ – Networks in Dance Medicine
Date Fri 1 June 2012
Location Berlin
tamed e.V., the German Association for Dance Medicine, is organizing its 12th Congress for Dance Medicine in the “Ufer Studios” on the banks of the Spree River in Berlin-Wedding. This congress will be in cooperation with the “HZT” for Dance in Berlin and the State Ballet of Berlin. International experts from the realms of medicine and dance will demonstrate the importance of fascia in the body as an ubiquitous system of capsules, tendons and ligaments and will discuss their special meaning in dance. The goal is to carry over scientific and dance medical knowledge into the daily routine of dance and to keep dancers healthy on the long term.
According to Dr Liane Simmel, dance medicine specialist and board member of tamed e.V., “Fascia and connective tissue are an urgent subject in Dance Medicine. As a network which connects and permeates the entire body, it allows for movement without friction, forms the shock absorbers for movements and plays an essential role both in the immune system and in the healing process of tissues. The subject of fascia also mirrors tamed’s idea of building a network in dance. As the world’s largest national dance medicine organisation, we promote communication between doctors, therapists, dancers and dance teachers and allow for dance medicine to gain an ever increasing status within the German speaking world.“
Potential presenters may choose from these formats: lectures, clinical case presentations, workshops, discussion panels, and poster presentations. We encourage you to send in your contributions from clinical and practical dance medicine, research, dance physiology, dance psychology, and dance pedagogy. The deadline for sending in your abstracts is September 1, 2011. Abstracts will only be accepted online at http://www.tamed.de/kongress/abstract.html. More information can be found at www.tamed.de
