What I might be adding to Active Imagination[edit]

It seems to me if Active imagination is a useful concept, someone is using it somewhere.

I found this reference-

Jane Bacon discusses two techniques "focusing" and "active imagination" to help performers with the creative process. [1]

Beyond that I am having a lot of trouble sorting out exactly how she uses active imagination, the discussion of focusing seems to be much clearer. So I am not sure this article is worth mentioning. Or maybe I am just not fluent enough in the jargon to appreciate the points being made.

In the article she also talks about "Authentic Movement" and the writings of Mary Starks Whitehouse, who is a dance movement therapist.[2] So maybe it might be better just to reference this link?

which could also be interesting.
