Description
Thinking with the Dancing Brain: Embodying Neuroscience explores the intricate connection between brain function and thought processes in learning and performing dance. Written by experienced dancers and educators, Sandra C. Minton and Rima Faber delve into the complex interdependence of brain localities and networking of human neurology. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of neurological research on thought processes in dance, including observation, engagement, critical thought, emotion, memory, imagery, and imagination. It also addresses learning, problem-solving, and 21st-century skills, offering insights into the physiological and cognitive aspects of brain function. The authors provide practical applications for educators, dancers, and anyone interested in understanding the art of dance as a creative expression of human experience. Through its exploration of neurological networks, classroom pedagogy, and movement experiences, Thinking with the Dancing Brain offers a unique perspective on how to apply brain function knowledge to educational settings and artistic practices.
