Tukaj opisana performativna metoda dramskih delavnic je nastala na podlagi poklicnega odrskega delovanja (igralka, pevka), dela z ljudmi (mentor, trener) stalnega strokovnega izpopolnjevanja ter ...dolgoletnega raziskovanja in analize uporabe glasu in govorice telesa v izpostavljenem odrskem prostoru in v medosebnem sporazumevanju ter raziskovanja pozitivnih učinkov udeležbe posameznika v ustvarjalnem procesu. Preizkušena je pri delu z ljudmi iz različnih strokovnih okolij in mešanih interesnih skupin. Pridobljene izkušnje in znanje iz dramskih delavnice uporabniku služijo kot opora pri premagovanju ovir, pri razvijanju strategij preživetja, pri boljšemu razumevanju in sprejemanju sebe in okolja ter pri oblikovanju želenih vzorcev ravnanja. Na ta način udeleženci nase prevzamejo odgovornost za izboljševanje kvalitete življenja. Tako na področju izobraževanja (kjer sta motivacija in interakcija neizbežna elementa kvalitetnega prenašanja znanja) kot pri delu z ranljivimi skupinami smo prišli do ugotovitve, da prav način dela udeležencem omogoča preprosto prepoznavanje lastnih in tujih obrazcev obnašanja – videnje sebe in drugih v drugačni luči, nevtralizira napetosti v medosebnih in profesionalnih odnosih. Udeleženci izkusijo lasten izrazni in ustvarjalni potencial. Zaupanje v lastne moči in kreativnost, povečuje zaupanje v življenje kar jim nudi občutek osebne izpolnjenosti. Ugotovitve so zbrane na podlagi zbranih evalvacij, anket, pogovorov, poglobljenih pogovorov, dnevniških zapiskov, dela v skupinah in video posnetkov (z dovoljenjem udeležencev).
•A study of moments of attunement and misattunement in DMT workshops with four participants was conducted.•Attunement to self, others and the group as the main domains in DMT.•Attunement is ...experienced as being in the present moment.•Misattunement results in lack of spontaneity, unpleasant emotions and experiences of exclusion.
Moments of attunement and misattunement were explored in a dance movement therapy workshops. The guiding question was; “how do participants experience moments of attunement and misattunement in dance movement therapy workshops?” The study employed a quasi-experimental design, with phenomenological inquiry, including a two part analysis: Laban Movement Analysis and descriptive grounded theory using coding. Four students of expressive arts therapies attended four experimental dance movement therapy workshops, emphasising the process of mutual attunement. All workshops were video recorded. Based on video movement analysis, key moments of nonverbal attunement and misattunement were selected, and then analyzed within group interviews with participants. The results of the study show that successful attunement in dance movement therapy draws the client’s attention to the present moment; it encourages individual spontaneity, playfulness, and creativity; promotes embodiment, and thus the integration of mind and body. Successful attunement to the other leads to an intersubjective interchange, where two people co-create an intersubjective experience. Successful attunement to the group leads to the experience of oneness with the group. Moments of misattunement trigger unpleasant feelings, and result in a lack of spontaneity, feelings of exclusion, and hinder contact. The limitations of the results should be considered, as the study was done on a small number of participants and in nonclinical experimental setting. Researchers propose a larger study with clinical populations to further investigate the phenomenon of attunement and misattunement in dance movement therapy.
