<p> The dance space is the warming hearth of the dancer&rsquo;s heart and the active landscape in which the moving body plays, feels, and apprehends. This practice-led research study emerged from this somatic landscape assembling itself into a work choreographed around the motif of the neuromyofascial web as the architecture of the physical body and the conservator of its emotional life. A depth psychological perspective is employed to examine the fascial web&rsquo;s influence on the retrieval of psychoactive content supporting the dance/movement therapy participant&rsquo;s individuative process. The neuromyofascial web is explored through its restorative dynamics, stabilizing the physical body and releasing transformational content within the emotional body through the informing power of authentic movement. The tensegral nature of architectural design and the biotensegrity of the neuromyofascial web are evaluated as a therapeutic complement to the activities of dance/movement therapy, expanding the application of its principal protocols. A psychophysical analysis of the methodologies employed by American modern dance pioneers reveals their instinctual reliance on the neuromyofascial web and affirms authentic movement&rsquo;s ancestral roots employed in the depth family of somatic therapies available today. Aspects of practice led research inspired a diagrammatic representation of the defining elements within kinesthetic experience and encouraged the creation of a movement manual for dance/movement therapists supporting the integration of movement and meaning. </p><p>

No. of bitstreams: 1 VEIGMA LACERDA E SILVA.pdf: 2543992 bytes, checksum: 99d5e50bdb01cca8e8466f842c4a77cf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-31 / The general objective of this study is to know if the artistic language of dance, as an art therapy instrument, can be able to provide significant improvements in the psychological aspects experienced by these women. The research was conducted at the Reference Center of Social Assistance in Hidrolândia, Goiás, with a cohort of women aged 18-37 years who have experienced some form of physical, psychological and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner or non-partner in their lifetime. The art therapy group activities consisted in eight multi-thematic sessions involving the basic principles of Modern Dance. Data was collected by a sociodemographic data sheet, personal interviews and freehand drawing pre and post the art therapy process as well as during the sessions, and then analyzed through psychanalytic interpretation. The results indicate that the women in the group showed significant improvement in verbal communication skills, self-representation and expression through movement, all linked with the perception and resignification of their bodily self. This emphasizes both the key importance of multidisciplinary actions and the role of art therapy combined with professional practices of psychologists as a useful alternative to address the issue of violence against women, and at the same time provides opportunities for collaboration and interchange from diverse fields. / O objetivo geral desse estudo consiste em saber se a linguagem artística da dança, enquanto instrumento arteterapêutico, pode ser capaz de fornecer melhoras significativas quanto aos aspectos psicológicos vivenciados por essas mulheres. O cenário do estudo foi o Centro de Referência em Assistência Social de Hidrolândia-GO. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com um grupo de nove mulheres com idade entre 18 e 37 anos com histórico de violência de natureza sexual, física, psicológica e/ou obstétrica. O grupo arteterapêutico foi desenvolvido em oito sessões com diferentes temáticas envolvendo os princípios básicos da Dança Moderna. Os dados de pesquisa foram coletados por meio do preenchimento da ficha de dados sóciodemográficos, entrevistas e desenhos livres nas fases pré e pós processo arteterapêutico, e observação das sessões de arteterapia. A análise e a conclusão dos resultados foram consideradas à luz da teoria e da interpretação psicanalítica. Os dados da pesquisa sinalizam que as mulheres que participaram dos encontros arteterapêuticos apresentaram progressos quanto às suas produções verbais, quanto à representação projetiva a respeito de si mesma e, principalmente, quanto à movimentação expressiva de seu corpo, ressignificando seu Eu corporal. Destaca-se, portanto, a indispensável ação multidisciplinar frente a esse fenômeno propondo o trabalho de grupos arteterapêuticos como uma das alternativas de ação possíveis, junto à prática profissional dos psicólogos, ampliando a comunicação de diferentes áreas de atuação a serviço desse universo.
