Laban Movement Analysis in the Bay Area
Hey, all you Bay Area Kids!
Perhaps you have read about my many adventures in Laban Movement Analysis. Basically, it was one of the best, most important, most life changing, and altogether awesome experiences I have ever had. It was tremendously physical, emotional, intellectual, and deeply personal. It was a powerful agent of change in my life and gave me tremendously effective tools for dealing with all manner of things in my life. Ostensibly, when people ask me what it was about, I am obliged to say that it is about the study of human movement in all of its incarnations, as well as how to describe it, think about it, do it, understand it, categorize it, observe it, internalize it, etc. Deep down though, there was not really a part of my life that it wasn't about. I have used things I learned there in my relationships with everyone, in my martial arts, in my art projects, in my home decoration, in my writing, in my understanding of the world, in my love of science, math, and logic, in my mental and emotional health, in crafting experiences for myself and my friends, and more.
If you were at Last Year's Flipside (Fall From Grace), then you may have seen my Wardance, which was the performance aspect of my final project in the movement analysis program.
Well, now is your chance! Or rather, this is an update on one particular opportunity to study Laban Movement Analysis in the Bay Area with some or all of my teachers at Integrated Movement Studies. Peggy Hackney, in particular, is running this program, and she is one of the most amazing people I have ever met.
So, the details: One weekend a month, starting in September, and lasting approximately two years, on the UC Berkeley campus. It will cost $9000, which Peggy assures me can be paid in installments. The website is www.imsmovement.com. At the culmination, you will be a Certified Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst, like me.
