Beyond the Boundaries : Anxiety Dance // Anxious Movements Research

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.
