The Relationship

This chapter considers the integration of dance ethnography and dance movement psychotherapy as a methodology to explore the relationship between dance and wellbeing within psychosocial work with war-affected refugee and internally displaced (IDP) children and their families. It is based upon ethnographic research undertaken in Serbia between September 2001 and September 2002, beginning a few months after the end of the war in former Yugoslavia (1991–2001). The discussion is based on the premise that there is a relationship between creativity, culture, and human development that can be harnessed in psychosocial work with these children and families, to facilitate integration and resettlement. Central to this is the building of new social and cultural relationships and opportunities for people to discover and develop innate potentials that can be used as resources in the context of forced displacement. These ideas are the foundations for the definition of wellbeing used in the chapter.

Personal Reflections

Abstract This article shares methodological meanderings that sit at the intersection of embodiment and improvised dance ethnography. Comprised of a series of personal reflections on fieldwork, the query of ‘how does ethnography feel for the researcher?' is explored. While questions pertaining to feelings researchers encounter in the field have been probed with some depth in existing literature, these are not always connected to how the feelings of the researcher are embodied at a somatic level. Through sharing two narratives of challenging moments I have confronted in fieldwork, ideas around notions of embodiment, performing and fear, and violence and vulnerability are illuminated. Through unpacking how improvisational ethnography plays out from an embodied place, from my lived experiences as a dance researcher, there is the potential for fostering a more fully developed somatic understanding of ethnographic dance research as a practice.
