Hi everyone,

I’m doing a monologue on birth this year... Please pass the word. If you’ve never seen the show it’s quite moving and not to be missed.

It’s intense and funny and touching and disturbing and wonderful. Bring a friend and come and support us.

Happy Valentine’s Day,
Karen

Dance Therapy Celebration and Social Action and the Expressive Arts

Celebrate with Lesley University Dance Therapy Program and Expressive Therapies Division!

Monday January 28, 2008 4-7 pm

Join Us to Honor Program Founder, Norma Canner and Rejoice in Our New Approved Program Status*

CELEBRATION LECTURE BY
David Gere, 2008 Sonnabend Fellow
4:00pm
University Hall Amphitheatre

David Gere, Ph.D., is director of MAKE ART/STOP AIDS, an international network of artists intervening in the AIDS epidemic. In addition to directing the Art/Global Health Center at the University of California - Los Angeles, he is associate professor in the Department of World Arts and Cultures teaching courses in AIDS/arts activism. His most recent book, How to Make Dances in an Epidemic: Tracking Choreography in the Age of AIDS (University of Wisconsin Press, 2004), received the award for outstanding book publication from the Congress on Research in Dance.

CELEBRATION RECEPTION
5:30-7:00pm
University Hall 3-094

As one of the first graduate dance/movement therapy training programs in the United States, Lesley’s Dance Therapy Specialization continues to hold the fundamental belief that dance and movement are a source of transformation for personal growth and healing. Program founder, Norma Canner, described it this way, “When we are moving spontaneously, we come closer to our primal selves and that is nurturing and healing…we use the language of movement to access deep emotions and early memories without censoring them… the dance is in you and always has been.”

*In October 2007, for the first time in its history, the Lesley Dance Therapy Specialization Program was granted Approved Program Status by the American Dance Therapy Association.
