    Greetings in 2024, just came across this video. So sorry but "authentic movement" just doesn't do justice to the incredible artistic dance expressions we are capable of. And let's please stop obsessing with the brain. The entire nervous system, intimately connected to the muscular system, works in amazing synchrony and harmony. Do search for "Bharat Natyam" videos on UA-cam. Natya refers to dance, pronounced Naatyum." South Indian dance form. I like to think of it as the Yoga of dance.

    Wow in this video I really had a deep understanding due to a personal level of people with autism in my family and it has helped me open up a different aspect to understand more of the dance movement and non-verbal connections given the fact that in moments I have experienced the challenge of expression when it's not audible in conversations. Since there are so many nonverbal ques that can be used here the understanding start with people with autism having to do a lot of expression in their bodies and the interactions we make through movement as it's a common language anyone can understand and help break through the barrier of not understanding audible expressions with dealing with people who have autism. In the video is very important as it's a powerful way to get a personal connection of conversation and channels a relationship of friendship and trust and ultemilty shows recogniztion to those who feel they dont have a form of communication.

  • @Yikesss-2

    Aside from this practice helping in a movement level for dance movement therapy it also has a major impact on nonverbal as it also affects a huge aspect of our body image our self-confidence and the inner worlds of our thoughts inside. Bullying is a huge topic that intersects with non verbal as people who experience bullying take a huge tool internally most of the time not expression that physically but mentally and through non communication. In the video the speaker talks about how throught movement it impacts someone as people facing bullying tend to get anxious your breath gets faster or slower breathing heavy , shoulds rise up become tight facial expresions how would your express your uncomfort or even fear. This has an impact as it can lead to multiple impact such as depression or even un ethical thoughts and movements or even could become silent and loose the light of our mind and body confidently that allows us to express what feel. In noneverbal this pracice important as you get to mirror to understand the emotions expressed throught movements and could communicate with the person out of there comfort level and be able to change the movement ina positive or negative way.

    Body language is super big as it's our everyday tool of how we adapt to our thoughts and understanding with our observations on the things and the people around us. This video is the whole aspect of how nonverbal communication practice is, The speaker clearly states we are only speaking 20% and using non-verbal 80% and we use mainly our implicit biases to say more than what we think is based on our own communications. She used an example of finding a friend in an airport is a perfect example of the representation of nonverbal the way of being able to observe and recognize all our connections to the movement of one's internal world. By finidng the mirror of movements in our internal perspective we use to copy/understand things but sometimes by mirroring that one person can also lead us astray. With our body language we also show the influence of certain situations with or without mainly without us being aware of our tend to analyze with gestures we or others make.

    I loved this video! This video really does represent aspects of nonverbal communication because the speaker not only talks but from the start expresses movement that may not always exactly connect with what the speaker was saying. She still showed expressions through movement already catching the eye and even giving me implict biases of her movements by making observations of her and how she is moving as she speaks. In non verbal it also had to do with the amount of energy she gives with certain movements when she slows down, moves faster,stops in certain positions and when she stops moving. Aside she is right the youth development model does have a big impact of our goals our emotinal and physical health and our slef confidence as the youth grows it also goes through all the behaviors shown within themselfs and the behavior of other around them and what is being shown as the youth grows up. Insecurities and depression is also a big impact for youth as they are exposed to multiple non verbal communications by every passing day in school.

    This video first of all is very interesting and the technique of Afro-Caribbean dance is a unique way to use in dance therapy. Especially in the non-verbal aspect it really does help the expression of our inner thoughts to be released and powered through the movements in afro - caribbean dance to be a source of connection into our inner social feelings and a connection into our inner power. This method helps our non verbal communication be understnad in ways that are deeper than just expressions as certain dance movements can be translated in our own personal spirutual power of feeling. This helps understand the application of ones social integration, their well being and the behavior of ones movements. All in ways that are being observed by Afro - carribeans already known dance ovements connecting ones rich cultural heritage to help make an impact tothe four levels of empowerment.

    Breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and toxic masculinity is essential, and this story vividly showcases the transformative potential of movement and storytelling. Witnessing the boys' development and changes over the course of their sessions was truly inspiring. It's incredible to see the progress they made from their initial involvement in dance/movement therapy to the skills and understanding they gained by the end. Amy's strategy of allowing the boys to express aggressive behaviors like kicking and punching was crucial. Addressing these nonverbal cues is vital for their healing and growth. Combining storytelling with movement enabled the boys to connect their emotions (mind) with physical actions (body), making their feelings tangible through movement and play. This powerful narrative underscores how dance/movement therapy can break down barriers and aid in the healing process for various groups. Sharing this story provides valuable insight into how this form of therapy can support diverse populations.

    This talk beautifully underscores the significance of body awareness and expression through movement for both children and their mothers, as well as the overall parent-child relationship. It was remarkable to hear how, within just a short period, a mother could attune herself to her own emotions and see their reflection in her child. By becoming aware of each other, the mother and child were able to connect and interact more deeply. This resonated with me, especially since I aspire to be a mother one day. Supporting foreign attachment and attunement is crucial in fostering a connection with a child, and Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) facilitates this for new mothers. The presenter's statement that DMT can "heal an unconscious mood" struck a chord with me, as I believe this aspect of DMT deserves greater recognition. The video effectively illustrated how a mother and child become aware of each other, forming an essential bond. The importance of early and continuous interactions between a mother and her infant cannot be overstated, as these first exchanges are vital to the infant's development. Understanding nonverbal communication in these interactions is equally important, as it helps us comprehend the baby's needs. For instance, maintaining eye contact and gently touching your baby nonverbally communicates love and care, and in response, we can interpret the baby's nonverbal cues, such as returning eye contact and smiling. Ultimately, these nonverbal signals should be better understood to enhance the development and relationship between the infant and the parent.

    This presentation was incredibly uplifting, highlighting the numerous challenges this man encountered with his mental illness, combined with the difficulties of adapting to a new culture and country. It was captivating to learn how, after a year, he asserted control over his movements by choosing to move in his own rhythm, which is truly extraordinary. Through therapy, he rediscovered a sense of purpose and individuality amid the hardships of relocating to the United States. Hearing about his journey and the experiences of refugees through movement was especially compelling. The poignant moment when he opted to move independently and the speaker could sense his emotions added significant depth to the presentation.

    This video highlights the power of nonverbal communication by showcasing how the client used movement as a tool to release her emotions. While she struggled to express her feelings through facial expressions, she found no difficulty in conveying them through dance. Suppressing her emotions for so long, it was through movement that she could truly articulate what was on her mind and in her heart, allowing her to connect with her reality. This profound example of dance therapy demonstrates how nonverbal communication can be a powerful avenue for emotional expression and healing. It is poignant and unfortunate how people who seek to express their true selves through such means are often ostracized. One can only hope that through movement, they can begin their journey toward healing and self-acceptance.

    Watching the video "Moving Through Grief: A Dance/Movement Therapy Moment" deeply resonated with my understanding of nonverbal communication and the mind/body connection. The expressive movements showcased how our bodies can articulate emotions that words often fail to capture. This video highlighted the therapeutic power of dance in processing grief, emphasizing that our physical expressions are integral to our emotional healing. The fluidity and intensity of the movements mirrored the complexities of grief, demonstrating how dance allows for a profound release of emotions trapped within the body. Drawing from my experiences in DANC 373, where we explored intrapsychic communication and interoception, the video reinforced the idea that our bodies hold and express deep-seated emotions. The dancers’ movements served as a powerful reminder that nonverbal communication is not just about conveying messages to others but also about understanding and connecting with our own emotional states. This alignment of mind and body through movement therapy can be a transformative experience, offering a path to healing that transcends verbal articulation.

    This video relates to non verbal communication because these boys were able to learn how connect the mind and body to interact and react using non-verbal behaviors. They used their nonverbal communication tolls through communication in group settings. This demonstrates how impactful dance/ movement therapy can be on social engagement in children who are in their developmental stages of life. This movement therapy allows for more individuals to be comfortable in their own skin and be comfortable with expressing their individuality.

    Nonverbal communication was used in this because the client was communicating nonverbally to everyone else through her movements. As a child she may not have been able to verbally communicate how she truly feels due to the tumor. Jenny was able to express her anguish through screaming, kicking and throwing her body. A clear nonverbal sign that she is upset. Because of this she was able to find her true feelings through dance therapy. The use of nonverbal communication deepended the connection between her and her mother.

    This video relates to non verbal communication because the mother suffered with postpardum depression. The mother was able to connect her body to her emotions by placing the baby down then picking the baby up and rocking it. With the use of eye contact and physical touch, that connection was able to bring the client into their awareness.The client and the baby were able to make a connection to each other by making eye contact and moving with one another. This perfectly demonstrates how nonverbal communication relates to dance/movement therapy.

    This video relates to nonverbal communication because the client was able to take her nonverbal movement and use it as a tool to further release her emotions. She was unable to express her emotions on her face, but when asked to express them through movement she had no issue. She was supressing her feelings for so long, but movement was what gave her the tools to truly express what was on her mind and in her heart. This allowed her to get in touch with her reality.

    This video relates to nonverbal communication because in the begining the boys did not wish to open up what so ever. Dance/movement therapy allowed the boys to express those feelings that were deep down in another manner, it was a tool of empowerment. The boys were able to demonstrate how they were feeling with their punches and kicks. They were also able to bond with their peers through actions such as sharing the scuba gear. Through their body movements the boys were able to connect and form bonds.

    Through physically expressing grief with movement, individuals can process their feelings in a deeply embodied way, allowing for a more holistic approach to healing. This integration of nonverbal cues plus mindfulness in dance therapy can create a space for individuals to explore and express their grief without relying solely on verbal communication, providing a unique avenue for healing and acceptance. I think it's great to utilize the significance of nonverbal language in grief that can effectively support individuals as they navigate the complex emotions associated with loss.

    Leyna discussed the warm-up exercises she used to help women cultivate positivity within themselves. She connected these exercises to nonverbal communication, explaining that stretching upwards signifies "here I am," stretching to the side indicates looking around, and stretching forward signifies moving out or going somewhere. Our body movements can communicate our feelings or intentions without words. Our bodies allow us to express what our thoughts cannot. Dance movement therapy enables us to release emotions that we may not even be consciously aware of holding. Expressing ourselves through movement is simpler than using words because our bodies accurately convey our feelings.

    After watching the video, it made me realize that even "mimicking" can help someone be understood. Linni talked about how a little girl noticed her when she started mirroring her movements and as she progressed with those movements, Linni felt like their connection got deeper. It's amazing to see what we can do to help others and understand their feelings and also feel what they are feeling with their movements.

    I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to watch this whole video because of the intense topic of discussion, but at 6:55, I realized that this is exactly the kind of video I needed to watch. "Working with movement [...] we can actually create new neural pathways." In other words, it's like "faking it till you make it" by using our bodies to experience something that may have been traumatizing, but experiencing it in a safe way that doesn't harm us, to overwrite those trauma experiences with a more positive, less harmful version. After hearing this, I went back to the beginning of the video to watch Dr. Gray's recreation of her client's 'dance to freedom' with a newfound respect and love, knowing now that this was the client's way to heal and overwrite her trauma and torturous experiences by experiencing them, letting her memories come washing through her so she could work through them and come out the other side, strong and brave.

    This video breaks my heart in a very powerful way. Had I watched this just a year ago, or even just last semester, I wouldn't have resonated with it as much as I do now. My grandmother is in a nursing home, and her cognitive awareness seems to be declining very quickly. She's forgetting people's names, words for objects, can't recognize the house she lived in for 30 years, can't recognize her own son... So I watch this video now with my grandma in mind. And at about the 4:30 minute mark, I had tears in my eyes. "We think almost exclusively about what the person can't do". And sure enough, that's how I was thinking about my grandma. She "can't" recognize a house, "forgets" names, "can't" remember her son... After the 4:30 mark, I started to think about everything in a new way. Rather than thinking of her as confined in a wheelchair and unable to remember my name, I think about when I went to see her for Mother's Day and she was so eager to pet a dog that had come to the nursing home. How she'd point at things she thought were interesting, or she'd smile and giggle softly when she received her Mother's Day brunch meal. She didn't talk much, but her eyes were bright as she listened to the rest of us talk to each other and to her, and it was a beautiful experience. Despite everything she's "lost", my grandma is still a person and she is still incredibly compassionate and sweet. When we wanted to connect and bond with her by playing a game after brunch, she was engaged and playful, making large movements and raising her fists above her head in a show of joy, and I felt myself filling with joy as well, and I'd cheer along with her. Dr. Newman-Bluestein really nails it on the head with recognizing how our emotions impact others, and remembering that everyone is still a real person and they deserve to be connected with and loved.

    To understand what it felt like, I also mirrored the movement when Dr. Treewater invited us to, and I immediately understood. I was reaching for my future. I was reaching for something that I could only barely see, something just out of reach. And I remembered feeling that desperation within the depths of my own depressive spirals, my own suicidal thoughts. In those moments, I remembered metaphorically reaching out for help, grasping at what I imagined was a rope, praying that someone could pull me out of the pit I'd fallen into. Wondering if anyone cared enough to reach back for me. I might not be a movement therapist, but coming from a place of depression and having been in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, I know the feeling of reaching out for help very well. Sometimes we want help, but we don't know what words to use, or don't know how to ask, or even what to ask for. We just reach out blindly, looking for someone who would be willing to reach back. I can only imagine how powerful these DMT sessions with Dr. Treewater were for those patients, to finally feel seen, and to have a therapist there to help them work through their emotions and silent pleas for help.

    It's one thing to tell someone going through loss, "it takes time" or "you're going through the stages of grief; you'll reach acceptance someday, be patient with yourself", and it's a completely other thing to embrace and experience the relationship with the grieving person. I can't even imagine how emotionally draining it must be, not only for the client, but also for the therapist, to experience empathetically an entire relationship that her client had with her mother, from the loving beginnings to the seriousness of sickness, to the heartbreak of loss. By being present with her client, Dr. Dempsey gave her client the space she needed to safely relive those wonderful moments with her mother, to enjoy the love and joy she'd felt back then, and was there for her when she experienced her loss. In a way, I can imagine that it was healing, to know that she was not alone this time as she lost her mother. Loss and grief is a very isolating experience, so I'm incredibly proud of the client for realizing that she needed help, and consciously reached out to a therapist for help. And by the sound of it, it really seems like Dr. Dempsey was able to help her. I hope that client is doing well.

Combining visualization techniques with "authentic movement" releases, truly has the power to change and save lives and the make the world a more joyful and limitless place for all of us.

    I am a professionally trained classical dancer. During the pandemic, I could not dance for almost two to three years as there were outdoor restrictions. The minute I got to dance for a recital after the pandemic and I could not help but I was drenched in tears as I was dancing. This experience really made me believe in the power of dance/movement even more. In some cultures, dance is seen religiously.

      How powerful an experience you had when you were able to once again perform..feeling the power of dance within you and the expression you have been waiting to experience and share publically. Bravo!
