With a history of over 50 years as practiced majorly in a clinical set-up in Western countries, Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) has been an innovative concept in the realm of creative therapy in Asian countries. Kolkata Sanved’s Sampoornata model based on DMT has been formed and practiced over the last 12 years across South Asia. The model set up in the purview of Indian cultural context, uses dance and movement as an alternate healing tool to work in group settings with different populations such as survivors of sexual violence, abuse and exploitation, people living with mental illness and other marginalized communities.
Our years of work with the Government Care Institutions and experience with the Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare, Government of West Bengal gives us the confidence to hold this ‘State Level Consultation Meet’ and share the contribution of DMT in psychosocial rehabilitation and alternative healing process for individuals.
This Meet will be an opportunity for Kolkata Sanved to share the research done to assess the impact of DMT among the residents of the Homes (especially survivors of trafficking, violence and abuse) in both Government and Non-Government sector and to chart a course of action to take the work further to other Homes where the need surfaces.
