well, yesterday I watched the most funniest video on the tourism of Cleveland and learned all about the river going on fire. Today, to help with my induction as a support worker with people with learning disabilities I come across this beautiful thing about Cleaveland, magic.
Edward Van Halen said he related to it because he felt very restrained by being in a band situation and wanted to make a solo album but wasn`t allowed to.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. Jeanette Adler puts my own experiences with Authentic Movement in clear words. Also so great to see how she communicates with children through body!! wow ! I also wonder which date was this filmed?
Thank you for posting this film clip. I first saw Janet Adler's film about the two girls on the autism spectrum in the early 1970s on public TV before I knew anything about autism. I haven't seen it since, and didn't recall enough to identify the film until today. The film was mentioned in a recent review article by Pat Amos, Rhythm and timing in autism: learning to dance, in Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 19 April 2013, which is available free online. Thanks again!
There is a big disconnect with many people and their bodies. They go along, rushing through the day and then hit the gym. I feel that Authentic movement, is becoming aware of yourself in space. It's slowing down and observing how you feel and allowing that to move you. Some feel it, and just feel a need to "do" it. I know that's how it is for me, and I feel it's different and personal for everyone because you are not being told what to do. It is from you.It's another form of meditation process.
This is way cool....I'm actually working on a vlog series of jobs that use art as treatment and therapy. The power of art is a topic I am passionate about. I work for a place that teaches art (dance, visual, theatre, music, and language) to adults with disabilities. I will be posting it in a few weeks but subscribe to my channel if you're interested in art therapy or art and social justice.
"People are afraid to express so much...; fear/pain/loneliness/embarrassment...all sorts of things no one else has any idea of...??? All those things they can put into art...."
All my life I have turned to art to express myself. Growing up i kept sketchbooks and looking back at them, I see a different emotion in every face, color, & pencil stroke. My mom was an artist, and when she was sick with cancer she didn't draw as much as she used to. I have a sketchbook of hers with half of the pages full of her art, and the other half mine. When I see them, I wonder what she was feeling. Honestly, this video brought tears to my eyes because I would love to do this as a career!
awesome in the true meaning of awe am a student drama therapy in holland, and videos that are shown in class are extremely useful - books and practising with our own class seem to be not enough (grammar isn't correct :p sorry about that)
