Movimento autêntico: questões sobre a prática do movedor.

Abstract

This work is of interest in the practice of Authentic Movement, an approach that was created around the 1950s by Mary Starks Whitehouse and later modified with the contributions of Janet Adler. The MA was defined by Soraya Jorge as a Relational Somatic Approach, this relational work is given through the witness and mover roles within the practice along with the other tools that are used. The focus of this work in turn, remains in the mover, is not the intention to establish some hierarchy within the practice, it is impossible to occur, because it necessarily needs both roles to happen. This research was developed from a literature review searching the texts that exist in the Portuguese language, verifying a gap in the field of literary production about the practice further encourages this research. Most of the texts were taken from the Internet through the available search tools, while others that were no longer available on the web were provided through personal media files.
