Accessing the body’s archives: Mindful reflection through dance

Sarah Kim is a family physician, assistant professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine and dancer-in-residence with the Health, Arts and Humanities Theme. She is also part of a team using dance to explore practices of care in institutions. With the support of a grant from the Canada Council for the Arts, Kim and her collaborators will make a film that employs dance to examine the trinity of physician, patient and caregiver. Through this endeavour, Kim hopes to inspire health care professionals to embrace mindful movement as an act of self-care and as part of their continuing professional development.
