Cecilia Macfarlane workshop

Defining the differences between Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) and Therapeutic...
This is particularly interesting to me as I am studying DMT for my dissertation currently.

 
Dance Movement Therapy
Therapeutic
·         Unity of mind and body
·         Connecting the physical to the psychological
·         Relationships and contact
·         Expression of inner emotions, feelings and memories through movement and dance
·         Body does the speaking
·         Helps with general well-being
·         Can be for people with mental illnesses, physical disabilities, blind or deaf people, the elderly, children, adults.
·         Relaxing
·         Inner connections
·         Doesn’t have to be therapy to be therapeutic
·         Talking to people
·         Touch/ contact
·         Senses- smell, music, colours etc
·         Colouring
·         Retail therapy
