Course contents:

Anatomy in movement:

Based on theory knowledge and subsequent partner manipulations, researching the human body as a system of joints and bones. Awareness of anatomy and neurology based on experience are integrated and become greater awareness, employable for the discovery of new movement material which may be effectively used. To help understand one's body, learn it, use it properly, save energy and avoid injury and stress.

Surface, touch:

Working with the intimate space of the human body, sensitizing the skin surface, reacting to touch. Touch as a bearer of information in various qualities, ex: drifing across the skin surface with a touch, resisting touch, internal mass, entrusting body weight to touch. Subsequent research into the potential which these qualities bring to movement interaction.

Mass, internal space:

Working with internal space; its quality, with states, with density, viscosity, changing quality of internal mass. Based on physical changes in one's mass in the internal space we discover a change in the quality of the movement of one's body, changes in emotion and subsequently changes in communication in the movement interaction.

Construction, bones:

Bones as the basic architecture of the human body; solid structure which supports it and simultaneously protects soft tissue.This is an inseparable element taking part in movement. Based on changes in one's observations and intentions we uncover those layered changes in the movement of one's body in a movement interaction.
