A Movement Response

Creative Movement Experience I shared for my M.A. course in Goldsmiths on 2009. This is not a dance/movement therapy session, but rather the way that I reflected upon events that occurred during my course as a result of learning, taking part in a supervision group, and my clinical practice. Hope you enjoy it.
