Introduction to Laban Movement Analysis
I'm considering teaching an introductory course in Laban Movement Analysis (approximately 20 class hours). Is there substantial interest here?
My quick description:
Laban Movement Analysis is a system for understanding, thinking about, talking about, categorizing, observing, writing, and prescribing movement. It is a hefty blend of movement, theory, observation, imagery, emotion, etc. It will be in a dance studio. It integrates a movement discipline called Bartenieff Fundamentals, which is in the same ... Read Moregeneral category as Yoga or Pilates, but with a focus on movement patterning and efficiency (contrasted with most Yoga's breath and flexibility, and most Pilates' core strengthening - obviously all of them do lots of stuff).
I am a Certified Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analyst (CLMA) and have been studying this work for approximately 5 years. It is pretty darn bad-ass.
