It was a presentation made as part of the Penny W. Stamps Distinguished Visitors Series at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design. It was presented on April 5th, 2007.
I found this video interesting for several reasons. Being a graphic design student we are constantly at the intersection of many different disciplines. Many people are often surprised that as a graphic design student I am doing a thesis that is heavily based in the psychological and educational world. Liz Lerman's work as demonstrated in that video is a wonderful example of exactly that; bringing together two disciplines that are seemingly unrelated and creating something both beautiful and informative.
The second reason I found this very interesting is that is is a fabulous example of Creative Intelligence. She has used her skills of visualization and her kinesthetic ability to create what may be considered and abnormal solution to a normal problem. Using her wonderful right brain to come up with an unconventional piece.
This also got me to thinking about the reasons why dancing isn't generally considered a normal way of presenting information. What is stopping us from using dance in the boardroom?
