Great to be at #NSCDConf25 yesterday presenting LCDS research with Steph and Sarah, discussing the challenges of quantifying students' work and rest time within the wider context of their education... it's not a simple or straight-forward task at all! Thanks to all for fruitful discussion

Just a fab day with LCDS developing new perspectives on dance science curriculum with Steph. Thinking about what, why and how we support health literacy, who teaches and when in relation to the bigger picture. Great way to end the year ❤️

Had a lovely few weeks teaching at Rambert School. Enticing and provocative conversations about positive psychology, flow, power, control, autonomy and agency. Getting the critical thinking going early with these BA1s ❤️
