Interests:
Traditional Dance/Movement & Healing
Medicine & the Body/Mind Relationship

I am interested in the potential use of dance and movement as therapeutic tools among the indigenous peoples of Oceania, particularly in French Polynesia.
I am currently looking into cultural constructions of health, the body, and the role of dance in Polynesian cultures.
