Response to Ch’i and Artistic Expression: An East Asian Worldview that Fits the Creative Process Everywhere, Shaun McNiff Translated title: 回应Shaun McNiff 的《“气”和艺术性表达：契合所有创造性过程的东 亚世界观 》

Abstract

Ch’i, described by McNiff as a material force, vital energy, or breath, is a concept that easily translates into the dance/movement therapy lexicon. Ch’i as a conceptual concept may be applied in therapeutic settings, as a functional construct, and as an energy force. The use of these three applications, when combined with contemplative practices to achieve healing and harmony within oneself, can broaden into creative energy (innovation and collaboration).
