Popis: Eight dance/movement therapists who had been mentored by leading innovators in the field of dance/movement therapy (DMT) in the United States—including Marian Chace, Liljan Espenak, Blanche Evan, Alma Hawkins, Trudi Schoop, and Mary Whitehouse—reflect on that experience and the process of embodiment inherent in it. In discussing aspects of their mentorships, the second-generation dance/movement therapists, or “embodied proteges,” share the legacy of those early DMT first-generation founders, and disclose how they utilized (and in many cases transformed) their mentors’ theories in their own careers as practitioners and educators. The authors further disclose processes involved in developing institutional infrastructure for advancing their mentors’ ideas and practices, and for sustaining DMT through time amid changing circumstances. The overall goal of “paying it forward,” or sharing with a next generation the inheritance from the previous one, is at the core of this embodiment project.
