Investigating Choking Under Pressure in Dance Performance with Motion and Physiological Information Analysis
摘要
This study is the initial phase in developing coping mechanisms for individuals who struggle with ‘choking under pressure’ due to stress. We focus on examining the motion and physiological information of dancers in high-pressure performance and low-pressure practice environments. Our primary objective is to identify key differences in stress responses between individuals who manage pressure well and those who do not. Through a comparative analysis of the motion and physiological information, we seek to identify the disparities between those who are adept at handling choking under pressure and those who are not. To simulate a high-pressure performance environment, a dance audition will be conducted and the physical and mental state of the auditionees during the evaluation process will be monitored and analyzed. The results indicated that auditionees who were unable to cope with choking under pressure showed significantly reduced physical movements compared to those who were able to handle it.
