Applying Technology To Dance Movement Therapy

  • Movement Analysis Tool on the Computer: video body movement, even facial, to accurately and precisely measure and analyze behavior.
  • Audio-Visual Playing Tools: creativity develops when participants choose the music. With changes in music, the computer has many different visual and audio effects. This can assess changes in mood and freedom of expression.
  • Evaluation Tools: instead of a personal therapist/visitor appointment. The evaluation software records all data and reports of the therapy.

Famous quotes containing the words applying, technology, dance, movement and/or therapy:

    “There are always those who are willing to surrender local self-government and turn over their affairs to some national authority in exchange for a payment of money out of the Federal Treasury. Whenever they find some abuse needs correction in their neighborhood, instead of applying the remedy themselves they seek to have a tribunal sent on from Washington to discharge their duties for them, regardless of the fact that in accepting such supervision they are bartering away their freedom.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
    —Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)

    “Mr. Lincoln at least you’re a man of honor. You said you wanted to dance with me in the worst way, and I must say that you’ve kept your word. That’s the worst way I’ve ever seen.”
    —Lamar Trotti (1898–1952)

    “An actor rides in a bus or railroad train; he sees a movement and applies it to a new role. A woman in agony of spirit might turn her head just so; a man in deep humiliation probably would wring his hands in such a way. From straws like these, drawn from completely different sources, the fabric of a character may be built. The whole garment in which the actor hides himself is made of small externals of observation fitted to his conception of a role.”
    —Eleanor Robson Belmont (1878–1979)

    “Show business is the best possible therapy for remorse.”
    —Anita Loos (1888–1981)
