SPRING
Mostly about Shape
(and a little bit about Effort)
April 5 – May 1, 2024
In recent years, Shape has emerged as an independent category in Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies. In addition to Laban and Bartenieff, others such as Lamb and Kestenberg have contributed ideas about this vital aspect of movement and what it means in behavioral terms.
This four week correspondence course provides a survey of the plethora of ideas related to Shape. Topics to be explored include modes of shape change, shape qualities, formal elements of line, motion versus destination, still shapes, and more.
In addition, this course will touch on Effort (albeit lightly) in relation to elements of Shape.
Each assignment includes the following:
- Original material discussing aspects of shape
- Prompts for movement exploration
- Observation tasks
- Questions to discuss with the instructor via email, facilitating individual study and development.
“Mostly about Shape” runs April 5 – May 1, 2024.
Registration closes March 31, 2024.
