The following course is offered on a part-time basis for 10 weeks. The course compromises of two half day workshops and 8 evening classes.

Course Description

This programme of experiential workshops is led by the course tutors whose expertise cover a diverse range of dance movement psychotherapy practices.

 

Experiential Workshops

These form the backbone of the course and provide participants with an opportunity to express, explore and reflect on the Dance Movement Psychotherapeutic Process directly.

Theoretical connections will emerge from the material shared in these groups. In this way students will learn from theory that directly emerges from experience.

These workshops will be facilitated by a qualified and experienced registered dance movement psychotherapist.

While it is stressed that the main emphasis of the groups is educational and not therapeutic, students should be prepared to work with the tensions between their personal and professional learning.

Seminars and lectures

The seminars and lectures are woven into the workshop experiences. Each workshop will be part experiential dance movement and part seminar/lecture.

The seminars take the form of presentations of clinical/therapeutic work and opportunity for discussion.
