"Integrating Consent Practices in Dance Education"

I am especially honored to be mentioned by name, with several citations and with the words, "Perry has taken a particularly leading role..."in this article in the latest issue of the Journal of Dance Education. Thank you. Being seen in this way means so much.

Also glad to see Intimacy Direction in Dance included and to be alongside my colleagues Rocío Mendez, Adi Cabral, and Brooke M. Haney.

The article is available to NDEO members or if your institution has access to Taylor and Francis journals here.

Book on the Way

I am so excited to share that I am publishing a book with Routledge on consent-forward, trauma-informed, psychologically safe movement pedagogy! This book is designed for dance teachers, as well as those who teach movement actors and stage combat in higher education settings.

I am well into the process of writing and am excited to share it with you- hopefully in early 2026. Stay tuned for updates.

New Podcast Episode with Me

I’m on the latest episode of The Casual Dance Teacher’s Podcast, talking with Maia Mahosky about consent-forward teaching practices in the dance studio. Let me know what you think!

Momentum Stage is a Doris Duke Foundation Grantee!

Remember a few months ago when we were a finalist for the new Doris Duke Foundation’s Performing Arts and Technology Lab Cohort and Grant…

… and we are a winner!

We are excited to develop Totentanz, a new use of pose estimation and facial recognition technologies to decrease AI theft and training that occurs without choreographer and dancer consent. The project is led by Pedram Nimreezi (AI and technology), me (Dance), and Ed Talavera (Film). Learn more about the project here.
