Hello Melissa.
After years of giving in-service presentations, I have learned how
difficult it is to communicate the power of DMT in 30 minutes. It's not
a very long time at all. With that in mind, it is best to start planning
an event of this nature by asking yourself who the audience is (which
you have done), why are they interested in learning about DMT, and most
importantly what your goals are for this group, and how do they fit into
your theoretical framework of DMT. Once you identify your goals and the
concepts you want to address, the experiential will come to you.
From my perspective, the therapeutic movement relationship is the
corner stone of our work. It is especially vital when working with
children and adolescents who cannot get out of bed or have limited
mobility because they are sick. With this in mind I often develop
experientials that address movement empathy, a kinesthetic dynamic of
which all health professionals should be aware. Ask yourself, what can
audience members do that would help them understand movement empathy in
a setting that may not be conducive to moving (e.g. small conference
room, auditorium).
In the past, I have had audiences mirror my hands, posture, facial
expression, their neighbor's hands, etc. To demonstrate that DMT does
not aim to mimic, and that the goal of movement empathy is to capture
the essence of the patient's movement, I take the next logical step, and
have them develop the movement they mirrored. Depending on the group
size, I may ask them to talk to a neighbor, or to the group, to see what
they noticed. This a small example designed to highlight the importance
of thinking first about your theory and practice and what it is that you
want to get across to the audience. The experiential will follow.
When discussing responses to the experiential with the audience, relate
their findings to your understanding of DMT theory and practice.
Introduce terms and words that grow out of your understanding of DMT.
When talking about movement empathy, for example, I use words such as
validate, therapeutic alliance, rapport, etc. .Bring in the literature
that talks about nonverbal indicators such as shared body posture, a
common sense concept which they will understand. Then introduce
nonverbal indicators that DMT and no other profession attend to such as
shared rhythms, use of space, and efforts, synchrony, echoing, etc.
Mention Sherry Goodill's text, Judith Mendelsohn's film and article, and
other dmts who write on DMT in Medical settings. You want your audience
to leave knowing that DMT is substantive.
My hospital based presentations tend to be with medical and mental
health staff who work with children, adolescents, and adults with eating
disorders. As a result, I don't focus on movement empathy. I focus on
dmt as it relates to issues of control, identity development,
boundaries, and body image. If I focus on control, for example, I get
the people to get up and move to a steady beat (even in small spaces.)
If body image is the concern, we do an experiential related to shape, a
creative dance approach to working with body image, identity
development, and boundaries that is an essential component of
LivingDance~LivingMusicTM.
I always bring a one page summary of the the presentation. It includes
the ADTA definition of DMT, the basic assumptions I work with, an
outline of the presentation, a few sentences that relate directly to the
population the audience works with, relevant quotes from the literature,
and, when applicable, references for future reading. Writing the one
page and being forced to be succinct, will help you organize your
thoughts. Once that happens, you will know what experiential to use. It
will be a natural progression. the experiential will come from you. The
dancer-you will know the steps; the choreographer-you will create the dance.
Good luck and let us know how it went,
Dani Fraenkel
