Abstract
Authentic Movement is a somatic and therapeutic practice often referred to as active imagination in movement. Some practitioners refer to the form as mystical, sacred or archetypal and so ascribe it a particular power and potential. This movement form, based on a dyadic relationship, is a unique environment to research such experiences. I will suggest that particular language skills and modes of articulation are needed to work in this territory. How do mover and witness work with these moving experiences and what means of speaking from and with these experiences can be useful? How can we speak from these experiences and images and not lose the primacy of both? I will suggest Focusing, tracking and poetic or symbolic articulation can help to provide a container for moving and witnessing experiences. The safe container allows for deeper exploration of more ineffable experiences. These are defined as subtle body, imaginal, mystical and processes of individuation.
