I suppose dance would be like body language. You raise a very interesting point for me about music Gabby. Sometimes when I am in the right frame of mind, I can think of music and I am able to hear (in my mind) the music, hearing all the notes being played in detail. At those times, when I think of music with lyrics, I can hear (in my mind) the words of the song even though I can not remember the words normally. Kind of strange. Has anyone else experienced that? I suppose it is a kind of photographic memory retrieval. But what I meant to discuss in this post is that if I want to think about the music or about the dance... maybe to critique it or to analyze it, I find that I can not do that without articulating the thoughts in my mind with words. I wonder if others have found the same thing.
