Jack Wiener, founder of the internationally recognized School for Creative Movement, studied music, aesthetic movement, and both classical and modern dance techniques in the late 1950s with pioneering interpretive dance luminaries at the American Dance Festival and Juilliard. His award winning work as a dancer, choreographer, actor, producer, and creative movement instructor has informed and dovetailed with his later work as a therapist and psychoanalyst.Wiener has written several books about movement education and the relationship between sensation and motion, including Creative Movement for Children: A Dance Program for the Classroom (co-authored with John Lidstone, PhD, Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1969), The Way of the 4th Toe (iUniverse.com, 2011), and Out of Aloneness: Discover the Natural Flow in Your Movement (IPBooks, 2020). A psychotherapist since 1980 and New York State-licensed psychoanalyst since 1991, Wiener continues to practice and reside in New York City.
