“…For example, while there are therapies that are based on movement alone (e.g., exercising) or music alone (e.g., music therapy), dance therapy is the implementation of an arts combination (dance + music) that attempts to reap the benefits of both of the contributing artforms (Chaiklin and Wengrower, 2009). The Kodaly method of music education combines speech syllables, body movement, hand signs, and musical scales (Kodály, 1965).…”

This article presents a manifesto for the scientific exploration of the arts in their totality, rather than conceiving of each artform independently on its own terms. In order to achieve this, I present an analytical procedure that is comprised of two related steps. The first step is to identify instances of sharing in the production mechanisms across artforms, for example the occurrence of rhythmic structure in music, dance, and poetry. The second is to examine how this sharing creates “affordances for combinations,” making it possible for music to be set to a poem or for dance movements to be choreographed to music. By elucidating the neurocognitive mechanisms of sharing across arts domains and the affordances that they offer for creating combinations, it should be possible to achieve a unification of the arts.

In an age where technology guides our lives, and with our increased ability to identify specific cognitive and behavioural processes in mental disorders, research-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) have seized an important position in the field of psychotherapy. Nevertheless, Dance Movement Therapy can still offer an important contribution to this field. Dance Movement Therapy was founded in the early 20th century as a profession based on the concept that body and mind are one inseparable system. Dance Movement Therapy conceives the body and its movement as a primary and vital component of human life. This unique attitude value is founded on the theory that the body is a means of communication and connection for a person with himself and with the environment. In this article, I describe the development of Dance Movement Therapy, indicating its importance in the field of therapy in general and with children in particular. This review will not explore CBT, but will refer to contribution in the guidance of workshops that study Dance Movement Therapy combined with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This article will show that Dance Movement Therapy can be used as treatment especially in the case of children with emotional disturbances.

“…Around the 1930s, former dancers, teachers and choreographers started to explore more rigorously the therapeutic effects brought by the experience of dancing. Chaiklin (2009), founding member of the American Dance Therapy Association -ADTA -points out that it was mostly women who were interested in these effects, with many of them coming from Psychoanalysis, which at that time was the main form of psychic treatment. Other women followed her studies on the theories Harry Stack Sullivan, Alfred Adler, Carl Gustav Jung, among others.…”

A imaginação ativa junguiana na Dança de Whitehouse: noções de corpo e movimento

Resumo Este estudo apresenta as noções de corpo e movimento presentes na dança de Mary Starks Whitehouse, conhecida como Authentic Movement - Movimento Autêntico. Ela foi pioneira dentro da construção do sentido terapêutico da dança a utilizar os princípios da teoria da psique de Carl Gustav Jung. A análise foi realizada a partir de textos originalmente escritos por Whitehouse, durante os anos de 1958 e 1979 e reeditados por Patrícia Pallaro em 1999. O resultado da pesquisa sinaliza que, para Whitehouse, o corpo é o aspecto físico da personalidade que, por sua vez, se faz visível no movimento. Este pode ser gerado num continuum entre o impulso inconsciente e o comando do Ego e possibilita a visibilidade da condição atual da psique, bem como gerar mudanças nela. Espera-se que este estudo traga contribuições no campo da Psicologia Analítica e da Arteterapia.
