Liz Pavey

Liz Pavey MA SFHE, dance artist/researcher has lectured in performance at Northumbria University since 2004. Her work is often site-based, informed by somatic movement practices and theories of embodiment.

Since 2017, Liz has collaborated on The Other Side of Me a practice-led research project led by the late Dr Laura Fish and Gary Lang's NT Dance Company (Darwin, Australia); the project explores how language and movement engage with a narrative concerning experiences of indigeneity, place, freedom, and young people's experience of the criminal justice system. Liz’s writing has been published in academic journals including The Senses and Society and the Journal of Arts & Communities. She has been External Examiner at UCLan, University of Bedfordshire, Chester University and MMU.
