Topics and Presenters
Carol Kaminsky, Sr. Lecturer, and Dance Program Coordinator; Jorge Morejon, Lecturer; Nicole Perry, Lecturer -(Dance Program at Frost School of Music)
This presentation focuses on courses in dance therapy which provide a unique opportunity for students to learn how art-based expression, communication, and engagement is therapeutic for people coping with various developmental, physical, and psychological impairments. Topics in this course examine the concerns relevant to college students, body image, stress reduction, self-care, peer acceptance, and identity. Presenters will discuss how lessons bridge understanding of theory and practice in dance therapy with self-awareness. They will show videos of student work that explore personal and cultural assumptions and messages about bodies and embodiment through solo and group movement and personal reflection.
