The Network aims to develop research and practice on experiences of suffering and healing, using artistic performance and movement. It offers opportunities for artists and movement practitioners to resource under-serviced communities and work with experts-from-experience. The Network also facilitates an engaged and active international and interdisciplinary academic community.
