In an enlightening exploration of art, culture, and theology, the upcoming event "Islam and Contemporary Dance: Unexpected Convergences" delves into the fascinating connection between Muslim cultural forms and modern dance. Hosted as part of the Hardt-Nickachos Lectures in Peace Studies, this event will feature a special talk by the esteemed Professor Tim Winter from the University of Cambridge.

The event aims to shed light on how some of the most iconic pioneers of 20th-century dance were inspired by Eastern and Muslim traditions. Professor Winter's lecture will explore the ways in which modern Muslim dancers have challenged Western perceptions of Islam's relationship with the human body, eros, and the sacred.
