I'm excited to hear of your recent interdisciplinary explorations. Your efforts to explore alternative ways of thinking, discover authentic connections between different subject areas through movement/dance is something I'd have loved to have seen, as on a very much less complex level, I believe it may still be authentically related to what I'm always trying to do with the students I teach- which is to help them find and explore what they've learned in different subject areas to broaden their thinking, expand learning connections, and collaborate to create and express new ideas. If you haven't looked into Project Zero at Harvard, or the Learning and the Brain Society, I hope you will. You may find you have a perspective that many others can relate to, appreciate, and learn from-who can further stimulate your thinking as well. Good Luck!
