Workshop with Cecilia Macfarlan

Today's workshop with Cecilia was focused on the difference between Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) and something that is therapeutic. Where is the divide?


DMT


  • specific, personal to each client
  • Rehabilitative, corrective, problem-solving
  • Expression of emotions through physical stimuli
  • Use of transitional objects - e.g. puppets, scarves, torches
  • The client - therapist - art form triangle

THERAPEUTIC

  • Realxing
  • De-stressing
  • Positive connotations of personal actions
  • E.g. massages, music, candles, shopping, stroking pets, going to hairdressers, cleaning and so on!


Instigating movement with Cecilia...

Where is the heart of you today? What colour is it? Does it lead you?
