In Conversation with Emily Jenkins: Integrating Dance into Cancer Care

We spoke to Churchill Fellow Emily Jenkins about how dance can support women living with and beyond cancer. Emily shared how her Fellowship travels across Europe and the USA gave her space to connect with others working at the intersection of dance and health – and how those insights have helped shape her next steps. She reflects on the growth of her organisation, Move Dance Feel, and her mission to train other artists to deliver dance in cancer care, creating a wider community of practice that can reach more people in need of support.

Bringing Rural Abuse into Focus: What survivors are telling us, and why we must listen

As part of my Fellowship, I travelled across rural regions in the USA, Canada, and Australia, connecting with experts and victim-survivors to explore how to improve safety and achieve equity. My learning and earlier conversations with Rhianon Bragg – a survivor whose story reveals deep cracks in our justice system – helped shape my focus post-Fellowship, laying the groundwork for a new social enterprise to raise the status of rural domestic abuse in public policy and support more coordinated, realistic responses.

A Lifetime in Paper and Cloth

Forty years on, my Churchill Fellowship to Japan to study traditional handmade paper still shapes how I think, create, and teach. It sparked a lifelong journey exploring paper, place and identity – one that continues to evolve as I balance creativity with care, and remain rooted in community and resilience.
