The workshop will focus the main categories of the Laban / Bartenieff studies on movement, that are essential for all dance/movement therapists and dancers and very interesting for helping professions and for everyone interested in improving their own body awareness. The workshop will be led on through the relational approach of Dmt-ER®.

Practical sessions, theoretical classes, personal body work, group work Main contents:

  • Dynamics and shapes of bodies in a space of relationships
  • Body: whole-body connections, movement fundamentals, developmental patterns, body actions
  • Effort: movement quality factors (weight, space, time, flow), basic actions, states
  • Shape: still shapes, shape qualities, modes of shape change
  • Space: dimensions and planes of the kinesphere, icosahedron, space harmony, general space

The workshop meets the requirements for both Laban & Bartenieff introductory courses. It is part of the 3- years professional training program in Dance Movement Therapy, requiring a 1200-hours commitment in workshops, theoretical classes, exercise, practice, supervision and exams.
