[Adta] movement choir

Tue May 8 15:55:00 EDT 2007

Dear Jody, thank you very much for sharing this splendid experience of the
movement choir, it is very inspiring and I am glad to know that dmts
continue to dance for themselves. It is a way to keep the "power of dance"
and to be able to share it in some way with our patients.

I am writing in response to several inquiries I had about the source
of the annotated bibliography on touch that I sent out a few days ago.
 The annotated bibliography is the supporting reference list for a
powerpoint presentation that I delivered with Melani Anderson and
Rebecca Coleman in the Psy.D. Clinical Psychology program at Argosy
University-Seattle.  The powerpoint presentation, given on March 30,
2005, on the use of nonerotic touch in therapy, was in partial
fulfillment for a three credit class for clinical psychology students
called Professional Issues-Ethics, Conduct and Law taught by Laura S.
Brown, Ph.D., ADPP.  I am glad I could provide such a useful resource
to our listserv!

Sincerely,

Nancy Goldov

Good morning everyone.
I just wanted to share with you a little bit about the wonderful Spring
conference that our chapter ... MD/DC/VA ... had last Friday featuring
Marylee Hardenbergh. It was one of the most magical experiences I have had
in a long time. After the initial schmoozing, our morning began with an
experiential/didactic presentation of the structure of the movement choir.
We were a group of 19 dance/movement therapists, one music therapist and
Marylee's assistant. We played with the concepts and techniques as we warmed
our bodies up and prepared ourselves for the richness of the day. By noon,
we grabbed our box lunches and headed out to Fletcher's Boathouse. This
boathouse is located between the Potomac River and the C&O Canal, just
outside of Washington, DC's Georgetown neighborhood, with tall trees and big
boulders scattered throughout. The day was glorious ... a perfect
Washington, DC spring day ... lots of sunshine and a gentle breeze blowing
... plus a bit of pollen. The drive to 
 Fletcher's became an integral part of our movement choir, as we attempted
to caravan from Falls Church, VA. We were like a flock of geese, as we made
our way through quiet neighborhoods ... with a couple of geese losing their
way from time to time. An incredible moment was when we needed to make a
turn-around due to a complicated entrance into the parking lot ... imagine 8
cars driving up a narrow hill and one by one doing a u-turn on a side street
and traveling back down the hill ... Marylee informed us that this was "true
flocking". It was very funny yet beautiful. We ate a delicious lunch
together and then continued with our program. Our afternoon was spent
designing, practicing and then performing our own movement choir throughout
the area ... encompassing the river, the canal and the wooded area
in-between. We divided up into small groups ... one at each of the above
mentioned locations ... and choreographed our portion of the dance. When
Marylee brought us back togethe
 r, we officially began "performing" the piece. Each group got to perform
for the others as we moved back and forth through the space. There were some
outside observers as well ... families picnicking, soccer players, people
fishing and kayaking. We moved in silence, to the sounds of the environment
and to the music of Keith Jarrett that Marylee had playing softly in a boom
box that she carried with her. It was a most beautiful dance! I know that
portions of it were captured on video... I wish we could have had the whole
thing taped ... a definite recommendation! 

I would like to thank Marylee publicly for her brilliant guidance ... her
playful and inviting style made this process feel effortless. Yet I know,
from having begun to try to conduct these movement experiences myself, that
they are not so effortless ... that she did an incredible job of providing
us with a solid structure and that held us firmly, yet with enough space for
our own uniqueness to shine through.

I would like to recommend, with Marylee's approval I hope, that each chapter
consider bringing Marylee to one of your meetings or conferences, and have
her work with you on designing your own movement choir. It was such an
incredible way of spending time together and connecting ... dancing and
being playful and creative ... all the "stuff" that we do for everyone else
in our day-to-day lives at work. 

We ended the day by reflecting on the experience and reviewing the elements
that we had studied. We also spent time speaking about the therapeutic
applications of the movement choir and how we might each utilize this "tool"
in other areas of our lives. There was great enthusiasm as we spoke about
ways that we as a group might try to bring this model to other gatherings in
our community ... i.e.. Avon walk for breast cancer; race for the cure;
psychotherapy networker conference. I know that we will be continuing this
discussion long after this workshop. Despite the initial goal of learning a
new technique, I think what we most seemed to take from this experience was
the richness of our time spent together ... doing what we love to do most
... DANCE!
Thank you Marylee ... you have truly inspired our chapter.
See you in Brooklyn ... can't wait to join you in your movement choirs up
there.
Love,
Jody (Wager)
Program Director
MD/DC/VA Chapter of the ADTA

P.S. Sorry for the lengthiness of this posting... I got carried away just
recalling the day.
