Kuvaus

Dance Movement Therapy, as well as other Arts Therapies, has similar theoretical underpinnings as verbal psychotherapies. Creativity, however, is emphasized and surfaces in the centre of the therapeutic process. Proceeding from this, the aim of this course is twofold. First, experiential learning is emphasized and will provide an opportunity to explore and reflect on own experiences of the movement process. Second, the course includes a theoretical component that provides a brief overview of Dance Movement Therapy within the context of other Arts Therapies (i.e., Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Drama Therapy). Students can make connections between theory and their own movement experiences through the interactions with others, reading of arts therapies literature and writing movement diaries. The course is suited to students interested in exploring their own experiences through body awareness and creative movement. The number of places on the course is limited to 25 and students with prior knowledge of psychology and related fields are given priority. However, no previous dance experience is required and the course does not include physically demanding activities.

Osaamistavoitteet

On successful completion of this course, students are familiar with basic concepts and theory in Dance Movement Therapy.
