The symposium aims to bring together researchers engaged in exploring motion and gesture in music. Papers to be presented offer cross-cultural perspectives on the relationship between movement and music, and are informed by embodied cognition and phenomenological paradigms. We are delighted to announce that Professor Rolf Inge Godøy, from the University of Oslo, and Professor Martyn Evans from Durham University will be speaking at the event.
