Laban Movement Analysis

Catalog description

Investigates the fundamentals of movement through theories, principles and techniques represented in the written and embodied work of Laban, Bartenieff, Dell, and Hackney. Approaches from Body Mind Centering, Feldenkrais, Human Development, and Somatic Therapy/Education will also be incorporated. Students will study the interrelated processes of awareness, biological function and interaction with the environment through interplay of theory and practice. The goal is to perceive, describe and make meaning of human movement in order to decode and develop physical language.
