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.
