Erratum - Quotation Mistakenly Attributed to Marian Chace

I have frequently quoted these words, "movement is the medium in which we live our lives" which I mistakenly attributed to Marian Chace.

To my chagrin, they are not her words despite having been attributed to her. Marian Chace spoke them, but she was quoting John Martin at a 1961 presentation at the AAHPER conference (now AHHPERD):

"To quote John Martin in The Dance, 'Nature has so constituted us that movement is the medium in which we live our lives.'"

Citation: Chace, M., Johnson, W. R., & Wooten, B. J. (1961). Our Real Lives are Lived in Rhythm and Movement. Journal of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, 32(8), 30-56.

Octaband

  • Octabandnofaces
    The Octaband™ is a fun, interactive tool which promotes individuality and group cohesion through movement for people of all ages and abilities. As a dance/movement therapist, Donna Newman-Bluestein was motivated to design the Octaband to stimulate movement in the elderly with dementia. The stretchy material, bright colors, and innovative design stimulate self-expression, spontaneity, and awareness of others. The center circle provides a strong visual focus, and the 5 1/2" hem at the end of each arm allows those with limited grasping ability to participate. Go to www.octaband.com to learn more.
