Embodiment and Acting (Thalia Goldstein)

from Imaginology Hosted by Deena Weisberg

What does it mean when imagination moves out of the mind and into the body? What kinds of crucial skills can we learn from studying theater, and how can those habits of mind shape children’s development? What explains our love/hate relationship with professional actors? Thalia Goldstein, PhD, Associate Professor and Director of Applied Developmental Psychology at George Mason University, explores these questions and more.
