Moving Ecologies Summer School, BathSpa University, UK
Monday 15th– Tuesday 16th June 2026. The inaugural Moving Ecologies Summer School will be held at Bath Spa University in June 2026 facilitated by the Creative Practice and Embodied Knowledges Research Group. The event offers an immersive, experimental, and informative learning experience exploring intersections between embodied practice, deep ecology, somatic screendance, feminist new materialisms, and environment-based creative arts enquiry. Set in the beautiful grounds of the Newton Park campus close to the UNESCO Heritage City of Bath, the Summer School will include site-based workshops, reflexive writing and mark making, classroom-based discussion, and time for socialising.
Convened by Professor Vicky Hunter, the Summer School features workshops and insights by distinguished experts in their fields; Karen Barbour (Site-Dance, Ethnography and Somatics, Aotearoa New Zealand), Heike Salzer (Site-based movement and film making, UK) and Vicky Hunter (Site-based body practice and ecosomatics, UK). https://www.bathspa.ac.uk/research-and-enterprise/research-centres/creative-practice-and-embodied-knowledge/
