Abstract:
This paper summarises and discusses interdisciplinary responses to three questions (1) How might we develop new ways of augmenting creativity in movement generation? 2) How can we better connect intellect, imagination and the physical body and enrich their relationship? and 3) Can a scientific understanding of the organisation of the mind provide clues and ideas that can be put into practice and how can somatic approaches contribute? The paper illustrates how the Interacting Cognitive Subsystems approach to embodied cognition and affect can be translated into heuristics to enrich practitioner's skills in thinking about movement innovation.
