70-6320 Observation and Assessment of Movement II

As the second of two observation/assessment classes, students will build on their working knowledge of Body and Effort from Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) with the emphasis on Shape and Space. Training in Bartenieff Fundamentals will continue from the O & A I course. Through seeing, doing, and writing, students will utilize LMA as a foundation for clinical applications in dance/movement therapy. In addition students will examine foundational theory, principles and applications of the Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP) and have the opportunity to discuss and apply their Laban-based skills in movement labs as well as in an application project.
