During each session, you will work with dancers and performance Artists at Nova Dance and the digital strategy team at UKAI Projects to shape Reconnections — Body/Heart/Mind, a digital platform, through the following values:

  • Care & Friendship
  • An invitation to trust
  • Play
  • Mediation (bringing people together/on the same page)
