June 2023 While developmental movement may be thought to relate only to infants within the first year of life, it extends well beyond that. Adult movement is the product, not only of our current physical training, sports, and work habits, but also the culmination of early experiences within the womb, through birth, relationships withing our family of origin, and environments in which we find ourselves. Movement is our primary language as expressed through our bodies, and is critical in establishing neural/brain connections. Co-produced by Janet Kwantes, the Moving Child film is a beautiful sensitive exploration of the critical role of movement in physical, emotional, mental and social health of the child…who later becomes an adult. Leading experts in Dance/Movement Therapy, Body-Mind Centering ®, Attachment Psychology, NeuroPhysiology, and more demonstrate how movement awareness supports healthy development. Along with the film screening, Janet will discuss her interest in infant developmental movement, how it informs her perception of movement in adults at a deep level, and how she integrates this on a daily educational basis. For movers of any age: come curious and with questions regarding your own movement story.
