From anxieties to movement: a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS), a clinic and dance.
Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.64, pp.275-284. Epub 21-Set-2017. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622016.0448.
The paper presents a practical experience that was developed in a CAPS, which sought to explore experimenting with the body in movement by means of group work with patients. The intervention addresses aspects of the day-to-day work of a Brazilian mental health service and proposes a strategy for care of both oneself and of the other, based on the reinvention of clinical practice to include artistic resources, with a particular emphasis on dance. The authors discuss time management as a modus operandi for staff and patients, showing that investing in dance serves as a tool to counteract the hurried pace of the service. It also serves as a space to be among, to accompany and to make it possible for bodies to be more receptive to encounters and to dance compositions, as the basis for a more inventive clinical space that they intend to develop.
Key words : Dance; Clinic; Psychosocial Care Center.
