Betty Center for Movement Research

Shadow of a group of people on a yellow wall

The Betty Center for Movement Research is a research forum at LMU Munich initiated by the Department of Dance Studies at TWM, which is dedicated to researching movement and its cultural, historical and social dimensions. The Betty Center is named after Betty Baaron Samoa, a dancer at the time of dance modernism. Her name and origins remain largely unknown, and her role in dance history is considered a blank space. The Betty Center takes this shadow in the canon as an opportunity to develop decentralized movement research from the periphery with Betty as its patron saint. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
