"The Metaphoric Body" is a conductive guidebook and resource offering suggestions, ideas, exercises and a way of working towards the therapeutic process. The authors show how the exploration of the body through archetypal symbols transforms and facilitates change in people's lives. As international pioneers with 35 years' experience in the fields of movement, dance, dance therapy, drama and art, the authors emphasize a holistic approach which goes beyond the purely cognitive and verbal. Based on increasing understanding and awareness of the body through movement improvization and exercises, the workshops incorporate exercises using improvized drama, mask work, visual arts and written work. Later workshops go on to extend the movement into interaction with objects, the environment and other people, and draw on images and symbols from the Old Testament, Greek mythology and the Taoist five elements. The book is intended for social workers, counsellors, pastoral counsellors and expressive arts therapists, as well as teachers and anyone with an active interest in dance and theatre.
