MOVEMENT THERAPY IN ACTION

Posted by madeleine kando On 3:34 PM
Movement Therapy rests on the principle that body and mind interact, so that a change in movement will affect a change in emotion. The teacher will mirror the child's movement and create a bond on which the child-teacher connection develops. Improvisation in movement with the guidance of the teacher will evoke new ways of being in the child. Group activities support and stimulate social skills and by moving a 'story' children find a way to express feelings that would otherwise be repressed.
