ABSTRACT
Masters and postgraduate diploma in dance movement therapy (DMT) at the Autonomous University of Barcelona have been running since October 2003 within the complex cultural and political bilingual setting of Catalonia in Spain. The transference of familial and primitive early patterns of relating is a concept belonging to therapy in small groups. The wider cultural and social context of the individual and the family is more likely activated in the large group. The chapter suggests that the cross-cultural does not only exist within intercultural exchanges, but is within every individual and can be worked through in any group and individuation process. A series of lectures and experiential classes, connected to the dynamics of DMT or movement observation and analysis, focus solely on embodied experience and non-verbal communication. L. Wittgenstein pointed out the inseparability of language and context, underlining the social event that happens between the users of a language.
