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?
