An Interview with Amber Gray on Dance Movement Therapy and Social Engagement.
2009-01-01 00:00:00 19m
Movement is a way of organising experience and a way of facilitating healing in traumatised individuals and communities. Amber Gray is a dance/movement therapist, working with the ways that trauma invades the body and our capacity to move in our worlds.
Her methods include drumming, ritual and dance-movement therapy. She refers to her framework as The Centre Post Framework – bringing people towards their centres physically, spiritually, culturally. The clinical application of this work is known as Restorative Movement Psychotherapy.
As an interesting extension, Amber is in Australia presenting her work alongside that of two neuroscientists – Dr Steven Porges and Dr Sue Carter. These eminent researchers/practitioners regard their work as being congruent and they present with an almost seamless approach between them.
