I will talk about the way to find themselves and to narrate themselves through an artistic and body-centered path, through the movement and the relationship with the others and I will explain how it constitutes an effective way to change a condition that is psychological as well as socio-cultural and political.
Based on my workshop experience for over ten years with university master's students, a dance-movement therapy course can quickly open up new existential perspectives, enabling new narratives about themselves and about one’s relationship with the world . Its artistic dimension enables the ability to perceive and recognize what Masud Khan (1980) called "the experience of the becoming of the self, the flow of vital energy" and, in parallel, the capacity to transform this energy into a form.
Thanks to this experience young adults seem to find a way for integrating different parts of themselves, for accepting their difficulties and weaknesses, for reflecting and developing deep contacts, overcoming insecurity and discovering one’s value and their own creative abilities. They also have the opportunity to live a meaningful experience in the group, through communicative, emotional and affective exchanges, without fear of judgment and without competition. So they increase the confidence in themselves and in the others and amplify the expression of creative potentiality enhanced by the contribution of all (Mignosi, 2008).
