Dr. Maxine Sheets-Johnstone
Why Is Movement Therapeutic?
The title of this keynote could be in the form of a question or a claim--Why Is Movement Therapeutic or Why Movement Is Therapeutic--and its content could thereby be either a reflective exploration or a setting forth of reasons supporting the claim. I opt for the question because the question is open to wider perspectives and deeper reflections and is also the more intriguing. The following will be among the topics I will be considering: a sense of agency; the dynamic congruency between emotions and movement; kinesthesia; feeling alive; how habits of speaking can occlude or impede conceptual clarity about movement; cultural differences and basic pan-human kinetic dispositions, attitudes, and possibilities. All of the topics will be addressed from the point of view of actual human experience.
