To Move and Be Moved
May 18, 1985 @ 9:00 am - 4:30 pm PDT
This one day workshop will introduce an approach to movement that was originally developed by Mary Whitehouse. Sometimes called “authentic movement” or “movement in depth,” it involved a mover, a witness, and their relationship. We’ll take up the development of this work an its use as a form of active imagination. Morning and afternoon sessions will include lecture, movement experience and discussion. No prior dance training or movement therapy is required or expected.
