Communication Stances-Role Playing Triads -Virginia Satir, Part 2

This is a demonstration of Virginia Satir's choreography around her communications stances. It includes what she has referred to as the "stress ballet rag" and the "dance of inclusion." In the first instance, people will change stances in three movements. For example, a person who is blaming may transition to placating, then to super-reasonable. Once the movement is complete, the person returns to the original stance to begin the movement again. The discussion and choreography regarding the "dance of inclusion" was poignant revealing what relational flow would look like in a healthy triad, which can represent a family or friendship.
