Abstract

Drawing on her lineage of somatic movement studies, the author shares her methodologies and motivations for including somatic approaches in health, art and educational settings. Focusing on the power of vibration in healing, whether it be through vocalization or larger body movement, Eddy describes how somatic sounding influences her system: Dynamic Embodiment and how she is influenced by her work partner with whom she co-founded Moving On Center School of Participatory Arts and Somatic Research, Carol Swann. She studied with early pioneer Irmgard Bartenieff, PT, CMA and graduate Luminary - Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Occupational Therapist, Certified Movement Analyst, and Master Somatic Movement Educator. She goes on to interview her co-founder of Bay Area Moving On Center, Carol Swann who developed VocalMotion, teaching a combination of  voicework and larger everyday and cultural movement.

Author Biographies

Martha Eddy, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York City, USA

MSMT, RSDE, CMA, EdD, e professora certificada em Body-Mind CenteringSM desde 1984. É uma autora (Mindful Movement e Dynamic Embodiment of the Sun Salutation), palestrante internacional, fisiologista aplicada e empreendedora premiada, que liderou pesquisas, criação de programas de certificação (Corporalização Dinâmica e Terapia do Movimento Somático, o sistema de dança somática BodyMind DancingSM e o programa de fitness somático Moving For Life). Moving For Life é agora uma organização sem fins lucrativos que ela cofundou. Cinco anos antes, em 1994 ela também cofundou o Moving On Center com Carol Swann, uma mestre da terapia de voz e somática. Eddy mantém uma prática privada aplicando o a Corporalização Dinâmica SMT para pessoas com desafios cerebrais, câncer, dor nas costas, expressão pessoal e profissional e a maioria dos outros corpos-mentes e necessidades baseadas em trauma. Esses esforços integram abordagens biocomportamentais, diversas terapias somáticas, as artes e uma lente de justiça social, envolvendo o aprendizado emocional social. Este trabalho pode ser terapêutico, educativo ou de coaching, sempre informado pela sua abordagem neurodesenvolvimentista ao stress e às experiências traumáticas, integrando e deslocando energias para um maior bem-estar. Atualmente é professora honorária do Teachers College, Columbia University no Departamento de Ciências Biocomportamentais.
