This course draws on the mind-body connection to explore the ability of movement to help us connect to ourselves, one another, and our environment. Students examine the relationship among bodily movement, health, and healing and learn the theories and principles behind dance and movement-based therapeutic practices. The course explores movement modalities as creative processes that can be utilized to support personal growth and well-being, build empathy, and foster social change in different social and cultural contexts. Class sessions are experientially intensive and designed to give students practice in participating, witnessing, creating, and facilitating expressive art through movement.
