[5] With her husband, landscape architect Lawrence Halprin, she developed the RSVP cycles, a creative methodology that includes the idea of scores and can be applied broadly across all disciplines.

In 1978, together with her daughter Daria Halprin, she founded the Tamalpa Institute, based in Marin County, California, which offers training in Life/Art process, their creative methodology.

H'Doubler emphasized the importance of personal creativity and highly encouraged the study of anatomy in order to obtain the most effective ways of moving.

Anna Halprin wrote in a letter about her new journey saying she was ready "... to live a resourceful life with a connection to the soil and to the common pulse of ordinary people.

[12] During the span of twenty years, she developed a working process that gave people the liberty to move freely with emotion and with a feeling of community.

This technique came to be called human potential growth; the aim was to maintain the link between non-verbal behavior and examining the use of language and physical expression.

[13] In addition to the workshop, Halprin continued to perform, dancing about "real life" in pieces such as Apartment 6 with fellow dancers, John Graham and AA Leath.

"[15] She compiled group exercises named Movement Rituals that shape the way she and her students moved their bodies through space and time.

Her movement patterns are based on the dynamic qualities such as swinging, falling, walking, running, crawls, leaps, and various ways of shifting weight.

In the 1960s she integrated into her approach the RSVP Cycles, developed by her husband, Lawrence Halprin, which breaks down the creative process with the use of scores.

[17] This sudden shift in her life inspired her to investigate and create associations to make a personal ritual that helped her healing process.

She used the investigative and therapeutic tools she had learned from Fritz Perls in order to understand and duplicate the psychological behaviors put into performances.

Using tools of the body, movement, dialogue, voice, drawing, improvisation, performance, and reflection, she was able to provoke others to explore themselves and use art as a therapy to heal themselves.
