Corpo e movimento come arte della costruzione di Sé: Danza Movimento Terapia e formazione

Abstract

In this paper I present a training model for educators based on a DMT course at the University and I will explain the theoretical and methodological framework related to the educational goals. The aim is to give professional skills to be spent in educational and social fields thanks to the mobilization of creativity , the integration between the different parts of Self and the development of awareness and the "presence". At the same time, students, through the artistic experience centered on the body, enhance the competences (observational, communicative, interpersonal, etc) required for their job in the future . A DMT course activates, indeed, new stories and new existential perspectives in a short time, where it is possible giving space to the recognition of the others in a “transitional area”, imagining and creating together. In this perspective, it is particularly important the “group feature”, essential for the expression of creative potentialities enriched by the contribution of everyone. In line with the model, finally, I will present the experience’ evaluation, including narrative and qualitative students’ products.
