Title of dance: Movement-in-Development
Title of PhD: Multisensory processing of metrical structure in music: Movement influences adults’ and infants’ auditory perception.
Scientific synopsis: Auditory and vestibular systems receive coupled inputs, contributing to the brain’s multisensory processing of music. Infants learn to feel the beat of music through movement, and this shapes the perception of music throughout our entire lives. Thus music and movement promote early brain development, and play an integral role in the social and emotional experience of music, such as between mother and child, between lovers, and in any community around the world and throughout human history.
Artistic vision: The first musical interaction is between the mother and her infant, such as through the mother’s singing and musical movement. The child becomes a woman, and music functions in her bonding with a mate, which is expressed through a spontaneous salsa dance. The woman becomes a mother, and in her turn, moves musically with her new child. The life cycle continues, and music is always present.
