I don’t know whether using Tai Chi style moves like a dance to help with the memorization of poetry, as Dr. Ailes describes, might help some folks on this forum stay motivated about practice.
“My dance practice also directly helps with my performance poetry practice in terms of body memory and memorization. Going off-book with my poems (memorizing them) was a challenge, and one technique that has made it easier for me has been choreographing movements to accompany the words.”
