journey in motion
Margaret Stewart
Journey in Motion Performing Arts Center promotes opportunities for a wide range of skills and ability training with courses extending from rehabilitation to performing arts. Located in close proximity to the Magnolia Hospital District, a strong focus of the center is on Dance Movement Therapy. As defined by the American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA), Dance Movement Therapy is “the psycho-therapeutic use of movement as a process that furthers the emotional, cognitive, social, and physical integration of the individual.” Dance Movement Therapy connects the language of the body and the expression of the mind in a progressive effort at rehabilitation.

The interior, influenced by the dancer’s freedom of expression and movement, is connected throughout each level of the space. The community hub located on the main floor, centered on the amphitheater, flows to the second and third floor with a free form resin molded to represent movement. Journey in Motion Performing Arts Center connects the community through expressive motion and dance.
