Chapter 8: A Book of Lenses
“To truly communicate, you must speak the language of their childhood.”
Schell reminds us to remember our childhoods and draw from those experiences to create games or other creative pursuits. We have to remember how we thought and felt and interacted at different ages in order to really reach those audiences.
In one of my classes last semester, we read some studies about using dance for healing. One study stood out in my mind in which a group of older women were brought together to dance. The facilitator used music from their youth. This particular music is what made the experience go from alright to spectacular because the songs reached them in very deep ways by unlocking the memories of their youth.
