Kasturi Torchia is an Art du Deplacement practitioner herself in her final months of doctoral training in counselling psychology, her method exploring one’s unconscious responsiveness to one’s environment, mapping one’s management of their environment as embodiment to their relational conflicts to themselves and others. Seeing movement as a visceral demonstration of one’s internal processes projected onto the outside world, conjugally with a means by which one’s internal process can be moulded and even altered by the world, Kasturi enjoys to innovatively fuse her skills as a therapist to guide people on a path of self-discovery, facilitating the learning of movement while healing one’s sense of self. Kasturi's research and practice centres heavily on somaticized pain, re-experienced trauma and re-enactment through movement-based mediums such as Art du Deplacement. How one responds to one’s environment could in fact shift their unconscious impacts on themselves and others, thereby eventually influencing people to alter their management of themselves, responding to themselves and the world ever so differently. www.instagram.com/ktorchia1
