Moving through Risk and Failure: Play, Resilience, & Martial Arts
Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance (WACD) and the Semel Healthy Campus Initiative (SHCI) MoveWell Pod are pleased to feature WACD Professor Janet O’Shea on her newest work Risk, Failure, Play: What Dance Reveals About Martial Arts Training. The book suggests that play gives us the ability to manage difficult realities with intelligence and that physical play, with its immediacy and its heightened risk, is particularly effective at accomplishing this task. There will be a brief lecture followed by an Empowerment Self-Defense Workshop. Reception and meet/greet the author and MoveWell Pod members will follow the workshop.
This event is presented by the UCLA Department of World Arts & Cultures/Dance and the Semel Healthy Campus Initiative MoveWell Pod.
