Dance Therapy and Focusing Workshop with Miriam Berger, Joan Lavender, and Suzi Tortora

[Guest guest]

Dear colleagues and friends, This movement improvisation and experiential focusing intensive course (3 five-hour sessions) should interest people from a variety of orientations:* Dancers, movers and dance movement therapists* Focusers who integrate focusing into their work and focusing oriented therapists* Researchers studying nonverbal systems. * Psychotherapists and psychoanalysts interested in the study of mutual regulation, attunement, improvisation and the implicit.* Child Therapists and educators working with children of all ages.* What Winnicott called "nonverbalists" of all kinds-that means all of us.The experiential/didactic course will offer an introduction to two modalities: dance movement improvisation and Eugene Gendlin’s methodology and philosophy of experiential focusing.Each modality provides us with a different perspective on the concepts of attunement, mutual regulation, improvisation and the realm of the implicit.If your approach is through the world of movement and dance, you will find Experiential Focusing to be an extraordinary link between the nonverbal and the creative use of language.If your approach is through Focusing, you will see how bodily felt sensing is actualized through movement improvisation.If you are a psychotherapist you will find direct applications and theory to enrich your work and orientation.These creative processes can help us to appreciate what is beautiful in our unique ways of being in the world. They also inspire us to use that uniqueness to create therapeutic relationships that make a real difference in the lives of our clients.We hope you can join us!Sincerely yours,Joan Lavender, Psy D., Suzi Tortora, EdD., ADTR, LCAT, CMA, LMHCMiriam Roskin Berger, PhD., ADTRSee attachment for date, times, place, fee and registration information.If you are having trouble opening the attachment, cut and paste this link into your web browser for more information:http://www.92y.org/shop/class_detail.asp?category=School+of+the+Arts888Harkness+Dance+Center888Dance+Therapy+Training888Dance+Therapy+Weekend+Workshops888 & productid=AD3LW08 Suzi Tortora Ed.D., ADTR, CMA, LCAT, LMHC Dancing Dialogue The Carriage House 8 n Ave Suite 1 80 East 11th Street Suite 307Cold Spring, NY 10516 New York, New York 10003 ext 2 fax www.suzitortora.orgwww.innerkids.org
