This is a unique opportunity to experience the teaching of internationally known dance movement psychotherapists exploring the role of the body and movement in supervision. 

Prof Helen Payne (founder of the UK Association in Dance Movement Therapy, Professor at the University of Hertfordshire and author of the book: Supervision in Dance Movement Psychotherapy)

Dr Hilda Wengrower (co-editor of the book, the Art and Science of Dance/Movement Therapy: Life is Dance, Lecturer in Haifa University , in the University of Burgos, Spain and other countries)

Jeannette MacDonald (ex chair of the Association for Dance Movement Psychotherapy, held the first NHS posts in the UK in Dance Movement Psychotherapy and has lengthy experience of teaching and supervising in the UK, as well as abroad in countries such as Holland, Poland, Italy and Croatia)

During this weekend, emphasis will be placed on acknowledging body-felt and movement signals brought to supervision as holding important information about the relationship between supervisors and supervisees and between supervisees and clients/patients.  The weekend will also invite participants to explore movement-based methods of supervision as additional and important ways of responding to supervisees. In particular, the following areas will be covered in theoretical and primarily experiential ways:

a. Models for engaging the body and dance movement within supervision.

b. Bodily engagement with movement observation.

c. The use of embodiment and neuroscientific research.

d. Somatic counter/transference.

e. Ethical dimensions of somatic engagement.

Open to qualified arts therapists (drama, dance movement, music or art therapists), counsellors and psychotherapists or other professionals who offer (or intend to offer) therapeutic supervision for clinical practice.
