Presents
CREATIVE MOVEMENT THERAPY
Introductory Training program in Delhi
Facilitator: Tripura Kashyap
Dance therapy involves the use of natural body movements to attain therapeutic goals. Dance therapists encourage participants to evolve a personal movement language to achieve holistic growth and healthier functioning. This therapy helps to increase the emotional-physical unity in individuals affecting positive changes in feelings, cognition, behaviour and physical functioning. Participants also gain a better understanding of their movement potential, conflicts and needs.
Taking part in individual, group, and partnership activities, participants enhance their range of motion, creativity, problem solving skills and team building capacities. While befriending their bodies through movement and interacting with others, participants learn to reinforce social skills more effectively.
This participatory program consists of three broad segments. Theory includes historical evolution, techniques, principles and objectives of dance therapy. The practical segment consists of body awareness practices, warm ups, relaxation routines, creative movement activities and games in combination with techniques from Indian and Western dance theatre. The third segment consists of evaluation and assessment in which participants learn to analyze movement patterns and behaviour.
After reviewing the introductory workshop, participants will be further guided through the theory and practice of dance therapy. Therapeutic elements from Indian dance forms, kinds of groups encountered, philosophy/methods of pioneer dance therapists, body/self image, providing variety of movement experiences in sessions, and assessing group movement behaviour will be discussed. Case studies will also be examined to reinforce the idea of therapeutic dance. Alongside learning fresh movement games and activities, participants will develop facilitation skills to conduct movement activities.
In clusters, they will be given assignments to create their own movement activities under concepts like strength building, physical contact, or setting personal boundaries etc.
