For our 7th annual international conference, CMTAI is bringing together movement and other creative arts therapists/practitioners from across continents to re-think and re-imagine the purpose, medium, and meaning of our disciplines in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, or the ‘New Normal’. As a dynamic global community, we will explore how we can contribute to mental health and well-being during the pandemic and post-pandemic era by sharing multicultural artistic approaches and tools and techniques from our praxis that address resilience-building and psychological fallouts like anxiety and depression.
We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of online teaching, therapy and facilitation, and how online interactions and engaging with individuals in confined spaces are shaped when striving for effective learning and qualities such as human warmth and kinesthetic empathy. Interactive sessions will focus on how arts therapies can nurture our inner selves, enhance endurance to face uncertainties and new realities, and transform crises into aesthetic life affirmations. Arts therapies practices being used in diverse sociocultural settings and ways in which they give us psychological and spiritual strength to deal with these turbulent times will be introduced. This year's virtual conference will consist of a pre-conference workshop, keynote address, a panel discussion, basic and advanced theoretical-experiential sessions, research presentations, poster presentations, and more!
