In the upcoming MoveScape workshop, “Exploring Your Kinesphere,” we focus on the central lines of motion – dimensions, diagonals, and planar diameters – for two reasons.
First, these are the fundamental lines of motion that Laban uses to define directions in the kinesphere.
Secondly, these central lines of motion connect body and space. Here is how. Because your body occupies the center of your personal movement space, body center and kinespheric center are congruent – one and the same.
Consequently, dimensions, diagonals, and diameters can be felt, as vectors emerging from body center and extending outwards into your kinesphere and beyond. They can be used as lines of support to facilitate balance, movement in many directions, and change of level.
