Kent S Godfrey has been fascinated by disability and the senses his entire life. His education includes a BA in acting from the University of Iowa, a Professional Diploma in dance studies from the Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, an MA in special education from Converse College, a Professional Diploma in clowning from Ringling Bros. Clown College, and post-graduate work in interdisciplinary studies at Washington State University. Additionally, Kent has performed in a Deaf theatre company, described plays to blind audience members, and developed a cutting-edge system of presenting performances to blind audiences. For several years, as part of creative movement class, Kent taught tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony to Deaf and autistic students through multiple senses. First, Kent guides students in object exploration so they can kinesthetically and tactilely encounter the tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony inherent in the physical properties of the objects. This leads to “painting music” in which participants draw patterns on large pieces of vertical plexi-glass. Their kinesthesis, movements (as seen by the audience), and two-dimensional images left on the canvas are each different manifestations of the same tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony. Additionally, the students can paint patterns on the floor so that later they can relate to the patterns with corresponding movements. Another approach of his is to form a multisensory symphony for autistic individuals. In this activity, each tone, rhythm, melody, and harmony is perceived visually via moving patterns on a video screen, auditorily via music, and tactilely by being touched with objects. Kent's hypothesis is that teaching methods such as these convey the benefits associated with “music” to Deaf and autistic people.
