ZOE SCHOOL Learning Lab
Meet authors /researchers from Dance Movement Therapy / Dance for Health, learn from their papers discuss the research in practice transfer.
Welcome to ZOE SCHOOL learning lab - reading, talking, writing -
launched by ZOE SCHOOL FOR DANCE MOVEMENT THERAPY Basel, Switzerland
Cecilia Fontanesi with her paper: Mechanisms of Change in Dance Movement Therapy: Translating Research into Practice
ZOE LAB, “our learning lab” is a seasonal Learning Lab focused within the fields of Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) and Dance for Health (DfH). Each session invites participants to engage directly with leading researchers as they explore the development of their current work. Through a “deep dive” into a recent publication, followed by a brief interview and an open discussion, ZOE LAB offers a unique window into research processes, challenges, and inspirations. It’s an opportunity to ask questions, expand your understanding, and connect with cutting-edge ideas in the field.
The topic on October 18, 2025:
Dance Movement Therapy, situated at the intersection of creative arts therapies, somatic practices, and psychotherapy, has long called for an articulated theoretical framework that can be shared across research and clinical practice. In our recently completed theoretical paper (Mechanisms of Change in Dance Movement Therapy and their Neural Correlates), we propose five core mechanisms of change:
- Connection through movement
- Emotional regulation through movement
- Body sensing and being
- Creative movement expression
- Meaning-making through movement
Each mechanism is brought into dialogue with current neuroscientific research, offering a basis for translational work that links clinical knowledge and research evidence.
We are looking forward to an exciting and inspiring hour with you and would like to remind you about the event times:
1.30 pm CET
5 pm Dehli
7.30 pm USA East
7.30 pm Beijing
