Movement is explored as a powerful tool for conflict transformation and peace-building, highlighting its cultural connections to dance. The book draws on Wolfgang Dietrich's Many Peaces theory to link various dance expressions with interpretations of peace and transformation strategies. It introduces an innovative framework for using movement as an elicitive method, enriched by the author's experiences and workshop interviews. This work is particularly relevant for scholars, practitioners, and artists engaged in peace, conflict transformation, and the arts.

Peace, conflict transformation and dance are the core topics of this book. It deals with peace and conflict in a different perspective: peace here is understood as plural and incomplete; as a practice, a process of discovery and action which begins within every human being. Conflicts, following this idea, are creative possibilities to put this peace in practice. It also deals with how dance, through creativity, connectivity and responsibility; as well as through the connections between education, communication and international solidarity movements, can foster this practice of peace on individual and society levels, presenting dance as a tool to foster human potential for peace and conflict transformation.
