Elizabeth Johnson

As a career academic, her research centres on integrating somatic, developmental, intersectional feminist, integral, and trauma perspectives in her pedagogies and practices. In national (USA) and international venues, Johnson has taught and presented extensively on Alexander Technique and Dart Procedures applications in Dance/Movement and Yoga and how AT principles complement or challenge other somatic and educational frameworks.  She has co-authored/authored three book chapters featuring applied AT and developmental movement, the most recent in (Re): Claiming Ballet (Edited by Adesola Akinleye).  A new book co-authored with Rebecca Nettl-Fiol and Luc Vanier, ‘Moving Into Skill: A Framework for Integration’, is due in 2025 (University of Illinois Press). Johnson regularly is a guest teacher at AT teacher training courses in Salt Lake City, Buenos Aires, Argentina, Montevideo, Uruguay, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  She is an Associate Professor in the School of Theatre and Dance at the University of Florida.
