Morning Workshops:

M1.Moving Blind Spots: Cultural Bias in the Movement Repertoire of Dance Movement Therapists

Presented by: Ebony Nichols, candidate for MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with Dance Movement Therapy Specialization

With a lack of cultural diversity in the field of dance movement therapy, there may be an unconscious blind spot of bias as it relates to cultural rhythmic patterns, movement styles, and music choices in therapeutic practice. Well-intentioned dance movement therapist may be versed in the language and skill of cultural competency but personal movement repertoire may subconsciously communicate that a clients movement preference, music choice or rhythmic patterns may not be beneficial to their own internal and emotional regulation.This workshop will explore these dynamics, create dialog and offer steps toward resolution on ways of becoming aware of and how to minimize these concerns.



M2. Beyond Multiculturalism: Appraising the Roles of Oppressor and Oppressed in Dance/Movement Therapy Practice, Education, and Research

Presented by:Tomoyo Kawano, PhD, BC-DMT, LCAT, NCC

Dance/movement therapists can work to actively monitor and remove systemic barriers in clinical practice, training, and research. Examining our roles as the oppressor, the oppressed, and the bystander is a place to start. By evaluating our embodied-enactment of microaggressions, inclusion, stereotype threat, and equity, we may find ways to move beyond the notion of multiculturalism, toward advocacy.



M3. Cultivating Cultural Competence Through Mindfulness and Movement

Presented by: Annabelle Coote, MA, LMHC, BC-DMT, NCC

In this workshop we will explore ways to use mindfulness and movement to cultivate openness to client experience and cultural competency.   Using the concept of mindsight developed by neurobiologist Daniel Siegel, we will work on nurturing the qualities of curiosity, openness, acceptance and love as a foundation for increasing capacity for working interpersonally with difference and diversity. This seminar will be experientially based with a focus on professional development.



M4. Unauthentic Living: A Black Man's Struggle

Presented by: Steven Reynolds, candidate for MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with Dance Movement Therapy Specialization


This workshop provides critical insight into the many, often disregarded, challenges that plague black men today:  microaggressions and unauthentic living.   Through exploration, one will expose and analyze how the subordinated racial status of black men excludes them from the many privileges and advantages available to white men and the impact this unfair treatment has on black mens lives.  Furthermore, from the lens of Laban Movement Analysis, this workshop will tackle how social structures and governing societal expectations result in internal and external constraints on black male identity formation, sexual expression, determinations in the court room, dance profession, and daily tasks such as walking.

Afternoon Workshops:

A1.Creating Inclusive Healing Movement Spaces

Presented by: Joy Ruben LMHC, R-DMT, E-RYT 500
& Penina Faustin, MA

This workshop encourages participants to explore body-related privilege in spaces of movement. What is it like to move as a black person in a white-dominated space, as a large-bodied person in a space that promotes thinness, as a differently-abled person in a space designed for typically functioning bodies? This workshop will encourage participants to get intimate with their own embodied experience, as well as gain insight into the experience of others.



A2. Break-Out Group: Non-binary Notions of Race

Presented by: Meg Chang, BC-DMT
& Tomoyo Kawano , PhD, BC-DMT, LCAT, NCC

There are many shades between black and white, and many who are not a part of a majority race in the United States. The breakout group is an opportunity to explore non-binary racial identities,multi-racial identities, and issues related to racial identity theory that participants may bring. The group will explore and highlight some of the dilemmas that Asian and Latinx dance/movement therapy students and practitioners encounter in training, supervision, and practice.



A3. An Intermodal Approach to Identity Formation and Empowerment in the Latina Community

Presented by: Amanda Bravo, candidate for MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, with Dance Movement Therapy Specialization

This workshop will consist of a brief powerpoint describing the relationship to mental health counseling that people of LatinX descent may experience as well as statistics that call to attention the need for representation in this field. The group will engage in a workshop-style experiential that has been implemented with the Latina population. In addition, the group will be exposed to culturally relevant ideals that may make their experience differ from those that occur during this workshop with the Latina population. Resources and suggested methods for working with this community, as well others, will be provided.



A4. Transpersonal Psychology and Dance Movement Therapy

Presented by: Judith Shapiro, MA, BC-DMT, NCC, RYT

This is an experiential and participatory workshop which examines a transpersonal viewpoint of social connectedness. Local context (cultural, biological, personal) is examined within the field of unitive human connection. The workshop is largely choreographic and exploratory. Workshop participants work collaboratively to define meaning in exploring these ideas. This workshop was recently given at the International Transpersonal Conference in Prague, Czech Republic, in September 2017.
