About Me (human/individual)/interests, work..short bio/ THis is the most important. It is the only way to know that you are not a SPAMBOT!Be generous!: Defne Erdur is a dance artist and a sociologist working in the fields of performing arts, therapy and education.

She studied sociology (MA) and worked with pioneers in Contemporary Dance & Somatics. She then completed the Intermodel Expressive Art Therapy & Creativity Programme. Since 2008, she is also a certified Body Therapist actively practising multitude of techniques towards a deeper understanding of the body as a psychophysical whole. Currently she is finalising her PhD; researching ways to integrate art therapy tools & techniques into the creative processes of dance artists.

She currently teaches at the Performing Arts Department of State Conservatory & Elim Sende Association in Istanbul, works for WINPeace and gives workshops in many countries, for different populations - i.e. actors, dancers, non-dancers and disadvantaged populations from different age groups. She is also the co-founder & editor of IDOCDE website dedicated to the documentation of contemporary dance education.

Artistically, she is mainly interested in instant compositions and site specific performances. She is part of the improvised music & dance ensemble KAROSRI. Besides she has an on-going solo performance called "in between prayers" that seemed to have significant impact on an artistic intervention called "standing man" during the recent socio-political revolts in Turkey. This work and her dedication to non-violent communication took her to Thailand in 2014, as she was selected among 400 artists for "I Meditation Artistic Retreat" to collaborate with 19 other artists towards creating the Samadhi Santi Collection for peace.

The primary prospect of all her work is to mediate people to relate to their own self; reflect on their needs, means, environment and ideas. Working with the sensations and anatomical make up of their body, directing awareness to responses for inner and outer stimuli, utilising tools of various art disciplines she aims to assist people in their physical, mental & emotional processes.

In sum, she is curiously dancing on the transitive line between art and life.
