Research Interests
Fontys Academy of the Arts, Tilburg, The Netherlands
Dr Caroline Ribbers (The Netherlands) works as a practitioner-researcher of embodied education at the Fontys Academy of the Arts. She facilitates yoga classes within the Academy’s Dance Arts in Context programme, is a research mentor for students interested in the relationship between dance and embodied practice, and runs the Embodied Education Lab, which provides space and support for students-teachers-researchers exploring the potential and development of embodied education. Ribbers' work is deeply informed by her doctoral research, an educational design study that resulted in a yoga method for dance students to support their embodied learning through engaging in meta-learning. Caroline is also interested in how mindfulness meditation can enhance embodied education and in the pedagogy of presence. In addition, she is keen to extend embodied education beyond dance.
