The Roots of Amerta Movement by Lise Lavelle
Javanese movement artist Suprapto Suryodarmo (Prapto) died in 2019. He developed, embodied and taught Amerta Movement. This book, covering the early years (1986-1997), is a record of that period of his work in English. It draws on the author's unrivalled knowledge of the culture, language, art, religion and traditions of Java.
In 1988, inspired by Prapto, Lise Lavelle initiated her own movement work naming it the ‘Dance of Life and Healing Theater,’ and in 1997 changed it to ‘Embodyment, dance of release and transformation.’ She drew on her training in classical Danish relaxation and movement, Sumarah meditation as well as her practice of Amerta Movement with Prapto in Java, and turned them into a ‘holistic’ movement practice. Lise also drew on earlier studies and practices of martial arts, Qigong, Tai chi, Kung fu, ritual dance, and Theravada Buddhist walking meditation and mindfulness (studied at the Wat Kiriwong Temple in Thailand), as well as on a Jungian approach to personal development and creativity. Lise held an MA in French from Copenhagen University, Denmark and a PhD in Indonesian from Lund University, Sweden. Lise was a recognized teacher of Amerta Movement.
