 Authentic movement, Moving the body, Moving the self, Being moved: a collection of essays.
Author: Pallaro, Patrizia Published: 1999 The second volume on Authentic Movement - a new discipline aiding the creative process in choreography, writing, theatre performance, dance, graphic and expressive arts, as well as spirituality - is an engaging and dynamic collection of scholarly essays, personal stories, practical suggestions, and resources. It reflects cutting edge work on creative expression, meditative discipline and psychotherapeutic endeavour. Part I comprises seven chapters written by the most prominent Authentic Movement practitioners and teachers (Janet Adler, Joan Chodorow, Susan Frieder, Edith Sullwold, Daphne Lowell, Tina Stromdted, Neala Haze, and Alton Watsson) and introduces the foundations and principles of Authentic Movement. In Part II, the contributors return to the source of Authentic Movement - the psychotherapeutic setting - and provide an in-depth examination of the personal process in the therapeutic relationship and the potential of Authentic Movement to facilitate personal growth. Part III traces the development of Authentic Movement as a spiritual path; Part IV provides an overview of new developments, Part V offers inspiring personal accounts; and Part VI provides guidelines drawn from practice as well as tolls and resources. |
