Conceived and launched in 2012 at the University of Leeds, in 2022, Break-in’ Point in celebrated its10-year anniversary with the publication of Break-in’ Point: Somatic narratives: The convergence of arts and science in the transformation of temporal communities in the Journal of Dance and Somatic Practices.
The Break-in’ Point performance (the rehearsal and performance process) explored human vulnerability, cross-cultural notions of masculinity, physical and psycho-social health, and spiritual resilience. The Break-in Point team invited him to join in the development of a conference paper, under the same title as the 2022 publication, which was first delivered at the 2015 Society of Dance History Scholar (now Dance Studies Associations – DSA) Annual Conference in Athens, Greece.
