A Time to Dance: The Life and Work of Norma Canner This intimate documentary profiles Norma Canner, a pioneer in dance movement therapy, who found in dance a way to help those discarded by society. The film traces the evolution of Norma's career from Broadway actress in the '40s, through her ground-breaking work in creative movement with disabled and mentally retarded children in the '60s, to her present work with adults as a dance therapist. Utilizing art, music, drama, and dance in the context of therapy, her work has proved extraordinarily beneficial for handicapped individuals, as well as providing cathartic healing experiences for those with deep emotional scars; and her pioneering work with blind, deaf, and autistic children has become a model for practitioners worldwide. This film is an inspiring tale of a woman who followed her own heart and in the process helped others to heal themselves.

Healing is not linear: Using photography to describe the day-to-day healing journeys of undergraduate women survivors of sexual violence. Laura Sinko, Michelle Munro-Kramer, Terri Conley, Courtney J. Burns, Denise M. Saint Arnault The study delved into the day-to-day healing processes of undergraduate women survivors of sexual violence through photo-elicitation and interviews. Healing was depicted as a continuum influenced by darker moments (fear, anxiety) and healing moments (self-care, connection). Responses to darker moments included feeling overwhelmed, while healing moments were aided by self-reflection and resource utilization. The findings offer insight for both survivors and service providers.

Your Brain on Art: How the Arts Transform Us by Susan Magsamen and Ivy Ross Magsamen and Ross offer compelling research that shows how engaging in an art project for as little as forty-five minutes reduces the stress hormone cortisol, no matter your skill level, and just one art experience per month can extend your life by ten years. They expand our understanding of how playing music builds cognitive skills and enhances learning; the vibrations of a tuning fork create sound waves to counteract stress; virtual reality can provide cutting-edge therapeutic benefit; and interactive exhibits dissolve the boundaries between art and viewers, engaging all of our senses and strengthening memory. Doctors have even been prescribing museum visits to address loneliness, dementia, and many other physical and mental health concerns.
