module 1: BODY
module 2: WEIGHT & FLOW
module 3: SPACE & TIME
(all modules can be taken seperately)
BEING:
there is an ongoing (flow) sense of self (weight) in relationship to the environment (space) over time (time)
YIN YANG: working with the opposing qualities in relation to eachother to come into balance
module 1: BODY
DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT PATTERNS
-breath
-core /distal
-head/tail
-upper/lower
-body halves
-cross lateral
integration (spirals)
body part phrasing:
describes how movement spreads through the body
-sequential: non adjacent bodyparts move one after the other
-simultaneously: all active body parts move at ones
-succesive: adjacent bodyparts move one after the other (fe body roll)
on different levels, skelatal muscular energy body breath

module 2: WEIGHT & FLOW
WEIGHT
-weight effort
sensing, intention, identification, me/myself/my physicality, presence and the relationship to earth/gravity
-weight: ACTIVE
light-strong
overcoming gravity’s pull with either a light or strong approach
-weight: PASSIVE
giving in to gravity’s pull with limpness or completely giving in with heaviness
-weight sensing:
between ACTIVE and PASSIVE weight
-relaxing and releasing into your weight to ‘sense it’
the organs, organ clock and related emotions
FLOW
-baseline of effort-
continuity, ongoingness and progression
flow often deals with feeling how one controles or releases their emotions
free-bound
different forms of chi and chi flow
——————————————————————————————————-
module 3: SPACE & TIME
Effort Qualities
-space effort
thinking, attention, intellect, ideas and perception
it is environmental/other related, internal/external
direct-indirect
-time effort
intuition, decision making and knowing the right moment to act
it requires reinvestment in the moment
sustainted-quick
Space
kinesphere: the area that the body is moving within
(and how the mover is paying attion to it)
-spatial intention: directions or points in space that the mover is identifying or using
-geometrical observations: of where the movement is being done, in terms of emphasis of directions, places in space, planar movement
-space harmony (scales)
spatial dynamics
planes:
horizontal (side)
vertical (up/ down)
saggital (front/back)
Shape
the way the body changes shape during movement
is about form aswell as the forming process
integrating factor
modes of shape change:
describes shape change that is either motivated by self or the environment
the modes of shape change are about creating relationships
there are three forms of shape change
-shape flow:
relationship of the body to itself (all about me)
essentially a stream of concioussness expressed through movement
can be amoebic movement or habitual actions like fe. shrugging, shivering, rubbing etc
-directional:
relationship where the body is directed towards some part of the environment. can be:
‘spoke-like’ (punching, pointing etc) descibes a movement that bridges to the environment and generally unfolds from multiple joints in a direct line
‘arc-like’ (swinging a tennis racket, painting a fence etc) descibes a movement to hat bridges to the envirment and generally moves from one joint in an arc
-carving:
relationship where the body is actively and three dimensionally interacting with the volume of the environment (kneading bread, wringing a towel, miming a the shape of an imagenary object, avoiding laser-beams)
shape qualities:
describes “towards where” the body is changing shape
forming oriented (a process of “growing towards”)
nb space is destination oriented
-advancing/retreating
-rising/sinking
-opening/enclosing
-spreading
