Choreographer Irene Whittaker-Cumming, Artistic Director of Being Human Dance (BHO), a Contemporary Dance Dompany that uses dance and music to tell moving human stories and aims to use her passion for creativity in dance, writing, photography and choreography as a means for positive social change. Topics discussed include using different art forms (specifically writing and music) to inform contemporary dance, the differences between being an interpretor/dancer and being a dancer/choreographer, and working with these two areas together. She will explore the potential for connections between dance and social change.   www.beinghumandance.com
