One of my friends in Australia, Dr. Mark Seton, works at the intersection of theater and the health of actors- noting that embodied imagination can also harm those who enact painful stories. In the article, I celebrate the guidance to bring in holly Johnston, a somatic ecologist, doing individual sessions that connect to healing in real-time inside the artistic process. “If someone has pain, she’s right there and immediately addressing what the body needs. It’s creating this environment centering care. Dancers can come out of an artistic process more whole and healed.” This beautifully models a generative and not retraumatizing understanding.
