Dance Therapy Association Australia (DTAA) Peer Mentoring Program

Regular sessions will resume in 2010. More details available as soon as dates are confirmed

For any members of the dance movement therapy community who would find it beneficial both personally and professionally to join a program that aims to promote working together and getting to know each other as peers through a focus on creative movement explorations. The explorations are directed towards allowing for individual or collective themes and discussions that grow from thematic dialogues.
The intention is to create an organically safe, non-critical, yet vibrant, environment for open group facilitation and opportunities for networking and sharing of professional and personal themes through movement explorations. As well, working with personal stories, themes and shared experiences around employment as dance therapists and what we envisage moving towards on the life/art bridge and evaluation of professional encounters.

The program has been very successful so far, with some of the themes explored about finding connections with our bodies, looking for work in the field, and exploring the use of props in various client settings. The feedback from participants to date has been positive and enthusiastic, and we have now arrived at the final 2 sessions for 2009. We hope that you will be able to join us and look forward to seeing you there!!
