Move Towards A Set of Cards for Inclusive Dance Practice

A research by Judith Hummel and Markéta Stránská

This set of cards was created as part of a research project on inclusive dance practice by Judith Hummel and Markéta Stránská, supported by a scholarship from the City of Munich in 2024.

Over the course of 2025 we met in Germany, the UK, and the Czech Republic to explore physical tasks, share practices, and reflect on inclusive ways of working together. The idea for the cards emerged in the final phase of our research as a way to collect and share the exercises and experiences we developed.

The cards offer both practical movement tasks and social, relaxing practices — such as ‘take a break – eat and refresh’ or ‘make a fire’ — that recognize the importance of group dynamics and individual needs in inclusive settings.

This is not a finished product but an open format. New cards can be added, tasks can be adapted. There is no order for using the cards. You can pick cards intuitively.

We hope this set serves as inspiration for others in their own research and supports accessible embodied exploration — for all kinds of moving bodies.
