Embodying Emotion: A Body and Being Network Event (St Hilda’s College, Oxford, 3 June 2015)

posted on March 24, 2025

  • Where does emotion reside?
  • How do we share it?
  • To whom does it belong?

Performing an original piece based on Ovid’s tale of Myrrha (developed as part of Avid for Ovid), choreographer and dance artist Marie-Louise Crawley and composer Malcolm Atkins will explore the embodied expression of emotion. The performance will be followed by facilitated audience discussion.

Wednesday, 3 June, 5.30pm-6.30pm

Jacqueline du Pré Building, St Hilda’s College, Oxford

This event is generously supported by a research award from St Hilda’s College, Oxford.

Attendance is free, but please register for this event on the Body and Being Network website by 1 June

The Body and Being Network is a research initiative that aims to develop innovative interdisciplinary dialogues about the body. Co-founded by Karin Eli (University of Oxford) and Anna Lavis (University of Birmingham), the network instigates and supports collaborative encounters between scholars and performing artists, and challenges participants to develop analyses that involve their own embodied experiences.
