Funzing Talks: The Psychology of Raving
- Promoter
- Funzing, Bristol24/7
The body and soul are traditionally perceived as separate entities within Western culture, but Dr Beate Peter argues that dance has the potential to unite them.
Drawing on the work of Carl Gustav Jung, she argues that dance allows us to access our collective unconscious and a more fully discovered self.
Accessing the unconscious through dance is commonly practised within tribal societies, and Peter’s work demonstrates that electronic dance music facilitates the same kind of dance-discovery. Its musical features allow the release of emotions within a community of dancers, where the body becomes the soul and the individual becomes the collective.
Bristol 24/7 has partnered with Funzing to bring you the best talks in Bristol, from Psychology of Raving to Neuroscience of Love. Funzing Talks is a new concept which aims to re-invent after work drinks, with an impressive array of leading entrepreneurs, intellectuals and bright thinkers to inspire your evenings.
