Embodied participation: Dance knowledge informing workplace training

Abstract

Research into physical simulation practices across industries (aviation, transport and healthcare), provides insights into embodied knowledge. Embodied knowledge informed by dance knowledge can positively expand the capacity of workplace training. Through a detailed examination of a variety of technologically advanced industry environments where embodied knowledge is applied, this article identifies the ways in which dance knowledge can be transformed into new and enhanced forms of embodied participation. The question of how dance knowledge is transferred across industries is addressed through theories of embodied cognition paired with emergent communication strategies from human–computer interaction and human factors. Key insights extend concepts of somatic practice across arts and industry for mutual benefit.
