Workshops with Johanna Climenko in Amsterdam!

My colleague  and  teacher  Johanna Climenko will come  to  Amsterdam in May  2013  with  two  workshops:

MAY WORKSHOPS IN AMSTERDAM BY JOHANNA CLIMENKO, BC-DMT, LCSW-R, LCAT


DAY 1: DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPY AND LABAN MOVEMENT ANALYSIS: RETURNING TO THE SOURCES
      
DAY 2: DANCE/MOVEMENT THERAPY (DMT)AND REICHIAN MIND/BODY THERAPY(RT) AS COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENT MODES

May  12th and May 13th, 2013,10 AM-5 PM (10-17h)




DAY 1: DESCRIPTION: DMT & LMA: RETURNING TO THE SOURCES

The goal of this workshop is to bring participants back to the original sources of Chacian Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) and Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) by a pioneering DMT who studied with the originators of these modalities.

Participants will be introduced, conceptually and experientially, to the essence of DMT as taught by Marian Chace. Focus will be placed on ‘Empathic Reflection’—learning to ‘try on’ how our clients: inhabit their bodies, and their movement level and interactional expression.

We will also focus on the application of LMA to DMT, derived from first and second generation teachers of Laban’s work.

Active work will be done on observation and replication of body level expression—body attitude, initiation, breathing, how flow goes through, and how it is restricted.  On a movement level, we will look at the movement repertoires of  our clients, and how they interact with our own, individually and collectively.  On the interactional level, we will explore group process via the non-verbal level (and verbal) level of interaction, from the most subtle, to the most evident.
In sum: The closer we get to the source of theoretical and clinical work, the purer our understanding of its essence.

DAY 2: DMT AND RMT MIND/BODY PSYCHOTHERAPY AS COMPLEMENTARY TREATMENT MODES

In this workshop, we will work with this combined modality, developed by the presenter. Participants will be introduced, both conceptually and experientially, to the essential elements of the theory and practice of Wilhelm Reich’s mind/body therapy—‘Character Analytic Analysis.’

We will also explore how Reich’s lens of ‘the Unity of Psyche and Soma’ can be used to deepen process, and fuel expression in  DMT.

The intention of this workshop is to explore conceptually and experientially how DMT and RT combine to form a unified and potent treatment mode.


BIO

Johanna Climenko, BC-DMT, LCSW-R, LCAT, is a pioneering DMT from NYC, who began her DMT career in 1968. She trained with Marian Chace and other original Chacian DMT’s, as well as other DMT pioneers. She simultaneously trained in LMA with Irmgard Bartenieff, who brought Laban’s work to the U.S., and other 2nd  generation Laban teachers.

When Johanna introduced American DMT to the Netherlands from 1971-1972, she also trained with and assisted, Mida Schutte, who trained with Laban and brought his work to the Netherlands. During this year Johanna taught DMT and LMA in Amsterdam and worked clinically at Stichting Veluweland.

In subsequent annual visits, Johanna trainined several generations of DMT’s in the Netherlands, in programs throughout the country. She continues to returns regularly to teach, supervise and consult.

Ms. Climenko has worked clinically and supervised the range of populations served by DMT. She has taught and consulted extensively in and out of academic programs in the U.S. and the Netherlands.

She also consults in systems using non verbal analysis, DMT and social group work as vehicles for systemic problem solving, replenishment and recuperation.

Since 1986 she has added the combined modality of DMT and RT as Complementary Treatment Forms for her private practice and consulting work.
