THE WORK

​

I have developed Tamalpa Life/Art© as a movement-based expressive arts practice, which combines dance, visual art, and creative writing to access the innate wisdom of the body and the transformative power of the imagination.

 

Participants may expect to work on issues connected to their burning questions , challenges, longings and life situations. Collective/archetypal themes that catalyze creative dialogues between body, imagination, emotion are explored.

 

Explorations  are movement based,  centered in the principles and practices of Expressive Arts Therapy, Integrative Dance, Somatic Movement Therapy and Gestalt Therapy.

​

Tamalpa Life/Art© Process is facilitated through:

Body Awareness exercises
Movement/Dance
Body Part Mythologies
Improvisation and Performance
Creative Writing
Drawing
Interpersonal and Group Interactions
Collective Creativity

​
