During the 1980’s and –90’s Sabetti developed expression-oriented forms of therapy and consulting generally called: Expressive Energy to foster creative potential. Natural activities such as dancing, acting, singing, being seen and heard are in Expressive Energy employed as means of honest self-investigation.

These expressive forms help us discover and make internal movements visible. Expressive Energy may also contribute to self-awareness, working off old behavioural patterns and actions, experiencing new possibilities for development and integrating this into everyday life as growing capability for expressing oneself.

The forms are dance (Dansergia®), theatre (Teatro Energetico®), voice (Vocia), musical instruments (Musicia) and visual art (Artra).

These different forms of expression may supplement each other. The form by itself (movement, voice, painting etc.) is never the matter, but the meaningful process towards the most complete self-expression possible. In time this enables each of us to go beyond our own limitations and to experience ourselves as a conscious, feeling, expressive whole.

ARTRA

Art has been used ever since early human beginnings to decorate household articles and tell tales of interaction or worship. Each of these expressions characterizes an abstract or concrete meaning for the persons or cultures who create it. Artra explores these expressions as energy messages of thoughts, feelings and behaviours of past, present or future realities. Through material, colour and form each of us presents a three-dimensional gestalt of our inner/outer life. Artra facilitates an understanding of and inquiry into “the art of living” with all its nuances, contours and shades of learning. Finding clear and meaningful expressions helps free us from held or deadened energy processes which prevent us from experiencing the full palette of life’s richness.

DANSERGIA®

Dancing in the traditional sense is often performed movement. Dansergia® (from the words dance and energy) by contrast invites us to move consciously from within and to express only what wants to be expressed. Dansergia® gives space to explore our personal issues and feelings, and emphasizes at the same time body contact, grounding, centering, balance, boundaries and energetic being.
By becoming more involved in the expression, Dansergia® increases the energy capacity and integrates different energy levels: feelings, awareness, memories and movements. Instead of analyzing every fragment of our lives, we inquire into a more essential state of self, which provides energy and knowledge for our next steps.

The willingness to surrender to this natural energy flow gives us the possibility to learn from the movements, and to become conscious at every moment. By allowing these movements and emotions to pass through us, we move beyond the problems without denying them. The honest expression of the present becomes a self-discovery of healthy resonance, through which we become aware of our old habits and patterns and move beyond these into psychophysical change as well as spiritual evolution.

MUSICIA

Moving and being moved by the excitement and rhythm of music are primeval human needs. Musicia becomes the rediscovery of these inner rhythms and the inquiry into what moves us to personal harmony (health) or disturbance (disease). By exploring various means for sound such as known instruments or daily articles, e.g. broomsticks, washbasins, or even our bodies we reconnect with our uniquely personal style of being “at-tuned” or “sounding out.”

Musicia helps us to rediscover how music or noise affects us, how everyone can make music and ultimately how music is a path of personal and collective freedom.

TEATRO ENERGETICO®

During their lifetime, many people will experience dramatic events which are difficult to cope with, especially as a child (e.g. abandonment, neglect, sexual abuse etc.). Because of these negative experiences or traumas, we develop certain behavioural patterns designed to protect ourselves from further injuries.

Teatro Energetico® helps each person to explore these inner/outer dramas in the presence and active participation of the group audience. By allowing the client to confront the momentary experience of being on the stage of honesty, a gradual unravelling of the drama thread begins. Further inquiry into the nature of the holding pattern and its release follows from the full involvement of mind, body and emotions. Helping the dramatist to accept and go beyond dramas used for attention or revenge means letting go of a neurotic identity toward self-expression.

VOCIA

The voice is one of the most fundamental means of expression which immediately reflects our feelings and mood. Vocia uses this crucial function of the voice as an expression of our wholeness to experience how healthy or “sound” we are. Through deliberate, creative and varied use of the voice we explore the messages or how we block or support our needs. We discover what influences/hinders our body integrity or being in tune with our natural expression. With practice Vocia focuses our innermost being for less restricted and more powerful realisation in the world. The honest inquiry is expressed in the question: will we really risk to be heard?
