Dance/Movement Therapy with Veterans and US Military
Mark your calendars. I will be presenting on April 4th in College Park, MD. Hope to see you there!
ADTA Talks
Happy New Year all. At the ADTA conference in Brooklyn, NY this past October I participated in a project called ADTA Talks. Fifteen dance/movement therapists spoke about the work that they do in a TED Talks style presentation. I was priviledged to be one of those chosen few DMT’s. My talk was focused on my experiences practicing DMT with veterans and active duty military as I am among the onlyDMT’s in the world that have the exceptional honor to work with this population. If you missed ADTA Talks, don’t worry; the inspiring presentations will be available on YouTube soon. So stay tuned!
