Frederick Erickson, a socio-linguistic micro-analyst at Interaction Lab, Grad
School of Ed, U of Pennsylvania, studies Rhythmic sychrony. (Psych Today,
11/87, pp. 37-8) 36b [has observed similar phenomena]
A researcher filmed children romping in a school playground at lunch hour each seemed to be "doing his own thing."
- BUT careful study showed that the group was moving in synchrony to a silent rhythm.
- One Little Girl, who seemed to be moving around more than the rest, was what the author of Beyond Culture calls
- "the
[unconscious] director, the CR orchestrator" eventually, the researchers found a tune that fit the rhythm. When they played it and rolled the film, the two fit perfectly
-- for all of the film's four and a half minutes.
-
But there was no music playing in that playground, says the author,
"Without knowing it, they were all moving to a beat they generated
themselves." music and rhythm are part of what draw us into the larger
body of the superorganism.
