The language of movement in the development of the human being

Introduction

This course will focus on how the body communicates and develops, with the premises that movement has an important function in the development of human being. We will relate to human physical and psychological development, focusing on the way movement patterns develop and mature inparallel through out life.

Participants will experience movement exercise and practice different movement qualities and shape relating to the development of the body characteristic movement of early years of age, childhood, adulthood, maturity and old age.

Judith Kestenberg studies on human movement development, based on Laban Movement Analisys, will be introduced, with the goal to enhance awareness of one’s own movement repertoire and how it can affect relationship with other, professionally and personally. Some introduction also to I. Bartenieff and P.J.Hackney work on “movement pattern connectivity “will be explored.

This approach to movement can provide a tool in observation competence and can be useful to students and professionals, offering a prospective on body movement that can be integrated into clinical and educational assesment system and treatment plans for clients.
