The presentation at the international conference on dance research, held at Dance Faculty of Academy of Perfuming Arts in Prague in November 2022, shared observations resulting from previous research activities focused on non-dancers and their increasing interest in contemporary dance, both in education and performance practice. The research is framed by embodied theory and practice and the idea/concept of Thinking Body, which implements inclusive approaches, integrating people with different social, cultural and political backgrounds and explores their impact on collective learning in the field of dance.
