The 2022 International Panel: Adapting and Transforming: The Immigrant Experience of Dance/Movement Therapists

The 27th ADTA International Panel explored the journeys of dance/movement therapists who have experienced both the realities and challenges of the immigrant experience: learning a new language, leaving a familiar culture, uprooting families, leaving friends, and becoming a member of a new community. Nine panelists offered a verbal description of their unique stories which were accompanied by videos demonstrating their personal dance/movement expressions. By listening and observing, we had the valuable opportunity to see the resilience of adaptation and acclimation that is inherent in dance/movement therapists from around the world. The following are abridged and edited versions of the panel presentations which have been modified to provide an overview of the panel. The complete transcript, with references and links to accompanying videos, can be found by accessing the 2022 ADTA Conference Proceedings via the American Dance Therapy Association and via the following YouTube link: https://youtu.be/fAN_81CMTk8?si=UVfq8kTXr_4YEUjP.
