amniotic artheraπ

An artistic interpretation regarding amniotic therapy that tries to convey in words and feeling the interior and exterior processes of this therapeutic method, aimed mainly for battling psychosis, but with therapeutic effects for any participant.

In 2023 the Entuziart Association, actively promoting introduction of art, dance, new media, and other innovative therapies in Romania, introduced through the Outsider Amnio Art cultural project, sessions of Amniotic therapy formation, in collaboration with Centro Amnios (Perugia, Italy) to the teachers at Sf. Ștefan special school in Bucharest, and to various artist working with neurodivergent and special needs persons.
Outsider Amnio Art (2023) was a project developed by Entuziart Association and co-financed by AFCN (Romanian National Cultural Fund Administration).

At the initiative of Entuziart association's Loredana Larionescu, IndieBox's artistic director Alexandra Bălășoiu and coVR Video's producer Konrad Mihat, the panoramic 360 film was created as a voluntary collaborative workflow between artists, mainly in the contemporary dance scene, teachers, psychology students and practitioners, that participated in the training, as a way to express and simulate the knowledge, and emotions that surfaced in these formative sessions, presented and voiced through the understanding of teacher, dancer, choreographer, and Feldenkrais practitioner Valentina de Piante’s experience.
