摘要

This study explores the healing elements inherent in the six movement principles proposed by Taiwanese choreographer Lee-Chen Lin, which emphasizes the mind–body connection, and connects them to the movement elements of Laban Bartenieff Movement Analysis (LMBA) to explain the implied possible bodily felt experiences that can apply to dance/movement therapy. Based on the analysis, Lee-Chen’s principle DING (定) is similar to Bartenieff’s nine principles of head–tail connectivity. JING (静) can be understood as stillness, one of the twelve basic movements of LBMA. SONG (松) can be understood as the concept of core support. CHEN (沉) is similar to the concept of Grounding. HUAN (缓) can be linked to the concept of strong, sustained, direct, bound flow, which is a compounded effort factor, and JIN (劲) is described as fighting. This study also discusses the existence of similar concepts for body-mind health across the different cultures between the East and West, which is a meaningful finding and a bridge tool in the clinical and educational practice of DMT.
