Poetry in Motion
Exploring on the Power of Words with Dance in the Therapeutic Process
Sponsored by the New Jersey ADTA & Presented by Laurie B. Ludmer, R-DMT
Laurie is a registered dance movement therapist and published poet. Her dance therapy
practice is with older adults, facilitating in the maintenance and strengthening of their psychophysical health. Laurie believes passionately that the third stage of life can be one of “elder grace”,
and developed Memory through Movement- an innovative movement program specifically designed
for the older adult. Laurie has also been writing poetry for many years. Her poems are imagistic,
often using nature as a central metaphor. Laurie has been published in Prairie Journal, Rattle,
Jewish Currents, Poetica and On The Rusk.
Poetry in Motion is a ninety minute exciting workshop in which participants explore their
physical response to words through various techniques. Self discovery is enhanced through dance
improvisation to poetry and the creation of individual as well as group dances. Through discussion,
movement explorations and journeys into the world of words, workshop participants will gain
practical understanding and meaningful insight into the symbolic “language of dance” and “language of
words.” Both of these “languages” use symbols to express, reveal, communicate and celebrate. Where
these symbols intersect - poetry is possible and dance is created.
