This programme offers an introduction to Dance Movement Psychotherapy in the UK, including theoretical concepts and the experience of using movement as a tool for self-reflection.

  • This in-depth short course offers an introduction to Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) in the UK. You will be introduced to key theoretical concepts through creative lectures, case materials, and embodied exploration
  • Throughout the programme, theory and practice will be brought together in an embodied and relational learning experience. You'll gain first-hand experience of creative and embodied processes, including group work
  • You'll learn core DMP theory, including professional contexts, and hear examples of case material from a range of dance movement therapy practices in the UK, including practice-based examples with adults, adolescents, and children from a diverse range of organisations, approaches, and services
  • You will partake in a unique experiential learning opportunity through participation in a DMP group facilitated by experienced therapists
  • As part of your experiential learning, you will engage in an 'as if' experience of the therapeutic process. Your exploration will extend to social justice issues and the intersectionality of various factors such as class, race, culture, sexuality, physical and intellectual abilities, religion, and gender
  • You will develop insights into oneself and others, emphasising the dynamic interplay between movement, communication, and group dynamics within a well-defined framework
  • Length

  • 1 year, part-time (25 weeks, Tuesdays, 6-8pm)
