The Emotions: Psyche’s Body:Active Imagination
May 16, 1987 @ 9:30 am - 4:30 pm PDT
Active imagination is intricately woven with the expression and transformation of the emotions. Similar to the symbolic play of childhood, it can lead us directly through the emotionally charged experiences of our lives. Joan Chodorow will trace the development of active imagination, with particular attention to dance/movement as one of its forms. Louis Stewart will introduce the morning.
Please Note: The Saturday lecture and workshop will build on material presented Friday evening. Anyone who wishes to participate in the workshop but cannot attend Friday evening may wish to read in advance Louis Stewart’s “Work In Progress” in The Body in Analysis (Chiron, 1986).
