New! Authentic Movement in Dance Movement Therapy

What is the source of impulse and action? Can we listen to what is ready to be spoken? Authentic movement is a technique used in dance movement therapy that offers participants an experiential way of finding movement in the body. Throughout the weeks, this course will focus on building movers' trust in their body wisdom—where movement pathways become a bridge for self-knowledge,

connection and response and possibly, healing.


About the trainer
Cerise Tean is a dance movement therapist registered with the Association of Dance Movement Psychotherapy, UK. Her exposure to and training in contemporary dance inspired her to reach out to the community and work with people living with Parkinson's disease, dementia and stroke, as well as children, youths and young adults with special needs.

Cerise continues to work with the young and older, enabling them to encounter and navigate various movement techniques that not only enhance body-mind connection, but also celebrate their bodies at whatever stage of life they go through.

Cerise holds a Master of Arts in Dance Movement Psychotherapy from University of Derby, UK, and attained a Dance for Parkinson’s disease introductory training certification with Mark Morris Dance Group and Inspirees Institute. She also played a key role in founding Movemental in 2021.
