Hancock Center for Dance/Movement Therapy

Introduction to Dance/Movement Therapy Workshop
Saturday, May 17, 2008. 9:30 am - 5:30 pm.

Interested in dance/movement therapy? Hancock Center is holding a one-day workshop introducing the field of dance/movement therapy. We will look at dance/movement therapy's roots in modern dance, its development in psychiatric hospitals, its national professional association, contemporary approaches and populations served. Participants will have the opportunity to experience simple group-movement interactions that illustrate some of the basic premises of the field. Participants are invited to bring case examples to directly explore applications to their own work.

The workshop will benefit:

teachers
students
mental health professionals
social workers
occupational and physical therapists
creative arts therapists
dancers

Participants eligible for 0.7 CEUs or 7 contact hours.
