Returning from the ISSME symposium in New Jersey. Great to reflect, share, disseminate, debate and ‘future dream’. Lovely to renew old connections and create new ones. And I’m the new Chair!

A wonderful couple of days in Antwerp for the seminar, ‘Mind the Body! Towards Embodied Strategies and Participatory Musicking in Intercultural Settings’. It was a privilege to give the keynote address ‘Musicking while Waiting’ to a group of reflective and committed academics and practitioners.
