Semester Offered: Spring
0.5 unit(s)

This course is designed to offer insight and information into body structure and movement aimed at increasing a body awareness in students of all movement disciplines. Application of the material extends from the pedestrian experience into physical disciplines e.g.: athletics, dance, martial arts, yoga, physical therapy. Through observation, reading, exploration, discussion and analysis, the student is invited to increase body awareness and movement efficiency, and to develop and assimilate tools to optimize physical mechanics. With the tools of Laban Movement Analysis/Bartenieff Fundamentals (LMA/BF), the study of basic anatomy and movement explorations, exercises and experiences, each student has the opportunity to expand awareness and integrate material fostering an increased understanding of personal movement methodology.
