The Sense of Self in Somatics: Exploring the Space Between Pedagogy and Psychotherapy

Somatic practitioners often talk about the way their practice may contribute to developing a ‘sense of self’ (Hartley 2004 & 2005, Smith 2002). This presentation will present findings from an ethnographic and practice-based research to date. It will explore some of the meanings the notion of ‘sense of self’ might take in Body-Mind Centering® (BMC™) informed dance practice and pedagogy. By drawing parallels between the way therapy and BMC™ approach human existence and a client, a case will be made for the need of a cross-disciplinary lenses through which to examine the cultivation of a ‘sense of self’.
