Description
A theoretical and practical approach to using movement and imagery as a modality for people challenging cancer and other life threatening illness.
Anna Halprin, co-founder of the Tamalpa Institute in Kentfield, CA, describes her expressive movement work with terminally ill patients and documents a ten-week series with each class clearly described in ways that can be easily followed by others using dance, movement or imagery as healing arts.
Examples of participants' experiences, drawings, photographs and words, are interwoven with lesson plans, directions and summaries in a lively and balanced format, which never feels abstract or difficult to read. Halprin manages to describe movement processes succinctly and in ways you can easily visualize, understand and try out. The reader "breathes and moves" through this book as Halprin leads us into the healing room.
Anna offers the wisdom of her life experience as a dancer, teacher, cancer survivor, and facilitator for healing.About the Author
