Course Description

When the pandemic hit in March 2020, we had to quickly find a way to transition from in-person to remote work, while still maintaining a sense of embodied connection with our clients. Preserving this connection with our youngest population, toddlers and early elementary age children added an additional challenge, due to their kinetic energy and varying abilities to focus their attention. Based on the conference theme “From Far to Close” this workshop presents how this DMT bridged the growing isolation gap, by creating a shared remote space with her young patients. Starting with imaginative stories using themselves and their stuffed animals to dance out their feelings, participants will learn how these stories were transformed into captivating visual narratives, through this DMT’s collaboration with a professional animation artist/film producer. Through experientials and videos, the DMT and the artist will share their process using technology to reach children in their digital world.
