Dance as Therapy-Therapy for Dancers

Dance Professor Susi Peces-Barb apresented her paper, “Rendimiento escénico: Entrenamiento, prevención de lesions y técnicas psicológicas,” at one of Madrid’s most exciting summer events: MulaFest—a celebration of urban art and culture from July 11-15. What did MulaFest celebrate? Harley-Davidson motorcycles, tattooing, karaoke, micro-theatre, graffiti, urban films, skateboarding, and, well, urban chaos at its most creative. Peces-Barba’s study, developed by a team of physical therapists and the center PasoATres, was among the many activities and events that filled the IFEMA convention center for the week.
