Break the Chain:
Empowering through Movement and Song
|
Monday, October 27, 10:30 am - 12 noon, Workshop 1
and repeating
Tuesday, October 28, 10:30 - 12 noon, Workshop 24
Break the Chain will be a dynamic workshop using the One Billion Rising Movement's flash-mob dance to their theme song, "Break the Chain." One Billion Rising (OBR) is an international movement to unite people against the worldwide ravages of all kinds of abuse. You'll learn the "Break the Chain" dance and explore the ways in which the strong movements of the dance address issues of those who have been abused, including decreasing isolation, experiencing empowerment, creating boundaries, asserting oneself, and developing a positive and whole sense of one's body.
The dance and workshop will provide a microcosm of how dance/movement therapy uses movement to support people in literally moving beyond the limitations of abuse. This workshop will re-energize you for the challenging work we all do in the trauma field.
Participants in the workshop, and any other UW-Madison CSAC participants who know the dance, will be invited to present it "flash-mob"-style at an undisclosed time on Tuesday during the conference.

Stop Bullying Now
|
Monday, October 27, 10:30 - 12 noon, Workshop 4
This workshop will introduce body-based skills that impact the targets, witnesses, and perpetrators of bullying. Research has shown that two key skills in preventing bullying are building empathy and activating witnesses. Empathy-feeling the pain others are feeling-works as a deterrent to violence. Teaching witnesses to be active allies also has been shown to reduce bullying in schools.
Learn techniques to build empathy and manage anger. Experience ways to actively defuse potentially aggressive situations. Explore self-calming skills. And learn how spatial proximity relates to safety.
