Our vision: Helping people thrive in and through music and dance

We are a team of performing artists, arts educators, creative arts therapists, clinicians, engineers, scientists, and researchers across Johns Hopkins, dedicated to helping people live their best lives through creative endeavors in music and dance.

• Elevating awareness of health in and through the arts to drive change in culture, practice, and policy
• Advancing career pathways and roles for performing artists in community and healthcare
• Integrating music and movement into well-being and recovery in clinical and community contexts
• Implementing holistic educational and performance practices for musicians and dancers to foster health, resilience, and peak performance
• Promoting transdisciplinary collaboration in research, treatment, and education
• Creating curriculum at the intersection of the performing arts and science to build skills and practices in the performing arts, education, and healthcare
