In Conversation with History Holders of the American Dance Therapy Association: Susan D. Imus

In this series of 15 videos, Dr. Jacelyn Biondo is joined in conversation by 16 first-generation dance therapists who have studied directly with the foundational practitioners and theorists of the professional field of dance therapy. In each conversation, these women share their stories and wisdom in their own words, passing their knowledge on to future generations. This archival video series was made possible by funding from the Marian Chace Foundation.

Thank you Susie I so appreciate you sharing your wisdom of Trudy and your experiences of DMT. I remember our shared time in Boston and I appreciate your ambivalence about the counselling! I remember those days well.
