Developed by: Mary Starks Whitehouse, Janet Adler, Joan Chodorow
Overview: "Authentic Movement arose as a conjunction between Jung's concept of active imagination and modern dance movement improvisation. Developed by a number of practitioners (Whitehouse, Chodorow, Adler), Authentic Movement is used for creative and integrative movement exploration in the contexts of dance movement therapy, meditation and contemporary dance movement improvisation and, as offered here, as a journey of discovery. Movers improvise and explore spontaneous gestures and movements with their eyes closed, following inner impulses in the present moment. Some times called a movement meditation, Authentic Movement cultivates a contemplative frame of mind, clarity of perception and responsive movement and stillness of body and mind. The particular relationship between mover and witness, in moving and being seen by another, creates a non-judgemental and powerful framework within which this work takes place. Authentic Movement is practiced individually or in a group with an experienced teacher/witness." ~ Excerpt from AuthenticMovement.org
