The Body Talks is an arts-based discovery program of the Office of Education and Community Outreach in collaboration with the Dance Division at Montclair State University. The program examines the concept of body image and its significant effect on individuals, culture and society in general, challenging inbred social assumptions about body image, thus creating a new level of awareness and acceptance of ourselves and others.
The Body Talks is a program that can make a difference in the lives of those who participate. Essential for the healthy development of young people, the productive living of the aging, and the life affirming acceptance of those who have been faced with physical challenges, The Body Talks provides critical information, insight and interaction which can be vital toward transforming unproductive thinking into productive action.
