Dance and the Search for Sensation in Adolescence: Dancing, as an Act of Subjectification
Type de matériel :
50
The author presents the search for sensations in the practice of dance as a path of access to subjectification in adolescence. Reactivating early experiences, dance elicits the experiences of the birth of thinking and the creation of psychic envelopes. Overwhelmed by the emergence of puberty, some adolescents dance in order to form a protective boundary that allows them to be open to their sensations. In a therapeutic group using dance as a form of mediation, the therapist’s empathic capacity to receive the archaic projections of the adoles-cent and to translate them into a “squiggle dance” strengthens the boundaries of the ego and allows the patient to give form to his/her sensations
