How anxiety displays itself between person to person is very different - panic attacks can occur out of nowhere or certain thoughts or events can trigger nervousness. The one thing that is commonly found is a "persistent or severe fear or worry in situations where most people wouldn't feel threat."
I found key words from the symptoms listed that could help us establish movements with the dancer:
Emotional Symptoms
- A feeling that something bad / unpleasant will occur
- Loss of concentration
- Tensing up and feeling jumpy
- The expectation of the worst possible scenario
- Feeling irritable
- Restlessness
- Mind blanks
Physical Symptoms
- Heart pounding
- Excessive sweating
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath
- Tremouring
- Twitching
- Muscle tension
- Headaches
- Tiredness
- Insomnia
Living with Anxiety (Documentary)
Chris states in documentary "The anxiety pretty much closed me off from the rest of my family" and discusses how he felt "embarrassed" a lot of the time about his condition. I think this would be a good element to incorporate in the film - the idea of feeling cut off from the world.
