This work began in the USA in the early 1960’s by Mary Starks Whitehouse, a pioneer of dance movement therapy who had studied the principles of Jungian analytical psychology in Zurich. Initially she named it as “movement in depth”. The practice of Authentic Movement is done with eyes closed in order to listen more closely and deeply to inner impulses of movement. It is a work of great depth that can induce changes in states of consciousness. In its basic form Authentic Movement consists of a relationship between two people or two groups, who alternate in the roles of those who move, ”movers”, and those that observe, “the witness”. Seeing and being seen, sharing of direct experience through verbal and physical language, opening to new psychic spaces in the individual and in the group are part of the practice, as is becoming aware of psychological dynamics that often hinder the perception of oneself and of others.
