Yes this is an amazing book. Oliver Sacks was in
Montreal in November and lectured (to hundreds) at
McGill University. His discussion of music in relation
to the importance of rhythm, synchrony,and time infers
movement and dance although he does not address
movement as directly. He also refers to Daniel
Levitin's book : This is your Brain on Music (McGill
U/psychology which is also a book which is also
relevent for Dance Movement therapy.
Joyous holidays to all Peace, Hope, Health ,Joyand
community
