Plenary Keynote
THE SHIFT: Journey Observations, Insights, and Reflections
Keynote Speaker: Carmen C. Marshall
When an organization takes up the mantle to create a race equity culture, one that is authentic and audacious, the journey towards liberation and justice for all takes on new meaning. The changes and shifts in conversations and commitments can test the culture, leaders and members alike. Carmen Marshall, ADTA’s consultant on equity and justice, shares insights and observations as she reflects on her experience with the ADTA. Amid great civil and political unrest, organizations around the world have experienced a great shaking. To honor this time, space and opportunity of the Plenary Keynote, Carmen will challenge us to unlock expanded, profound and underutilized ways of thinking and being.

International Panel
Journey to Becoming a Dance/Movement Therapist
Panelists: Thania Acarón, Grace Ho, Eugene Joseph, Dilshad Patel, Joey Atayde, Chevon Stewart, Selena Coburn,
Dr. Miriam Roskin Berger, Chair
Patricia Capello, Associate Chair
The intention and structure of the Panel this year is different than in previous years. Rather than inviting one person to represent a particular country, it is important to us to respond to the vital and necessary on-going examination of diversity, equity, and inclusion in our field. Therefore this year's Panel is focusing on featuring DMT's from the BIPOC community (several from the US in addition to other countries) to tell their personal story of their "journey to becoming a dance/movement therapist." The goal is to acknowledge the essential need to engage in honest listening, deepen understanding, and broaden our knowledge by highlighting the voices of all those who contribute to our work around the world as dance/movement therapists. The decision of the Panel members to participate is something we value, honor, and sincerely appreciate. Their presentations will include both oral and movement expressions.
7:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Dance Celebration, Costume Party & Prizes!
The best dance party of the year is still happening! Join us for a live DJ, social breakout rooms, costume contest and prizes galore, including free webinars and a FREE registration for the 2021 conference! (Must be present to win.)
