Viewing: Theresa Jackson
Theresa studied Dance Therapy at New York University with Marica Leventhal and received her B.F.A. in Performing Arts Dance at the same university. After graduating she became a stage manager for the European tour of ‘Spiderwoman’. Theresa came to Australia in 1981 where she became involved with Dance Therapy. She has worked in a variety of settings from disabilities to mainstream, as a lecturer, tutor and facilitator in using dance and movement as the key element in promoting creativity, communications and the importance of movement. For the last 20 years Theresa was a PD/H/PE teacher using the principles of dance therapy to everyday sports and exercise. During this time, she has presented papers at Indigenous dance conferences, International Health Conferences addressing the importance for dance in people’s lives and just recently presented at the International Childhood Foundation conference in Melbourne. Her main interest is the use of dance and movement as ‘preventative medicine’.
