Stimming is an action we use to self-regulate – to calm or stimulate ourselves and thus find a sense of balance. Dancing involves moving our bodies rhythmically, usually to music.

Dancing Is Stimming and Stimming Is Dancing
The neuroqueer choreographer, performer and academic Dr Aby Watson believes that the two are one and the same – and she will show why.
In an artistic way, the performance explores the creative possibilities of neurodivergent ‘intuitive pattern-making’.
Watson improvises with vocal loops, synthesiser music and rhythmic, repetitive movements for self-regulation. In doing so, she captivates the audience whilst sharing her knowledge – a tribute to ‘stimming’ as a creative practice.
