Curriculum

The Certification Program contains the following curriculum:
Connecting Practical Movement Experience with Theoretical Knowledge of the Laban Bartenieff Movement System.

Learning through experiencing the theoretical framework of the categories Body, Effort, Shape and Space, including the symbols used for recording in each of these content areas. Each of these categories can be individually identified but are also contextually interwoven. The relational aspects of these components are critical to unpacking the meaningfulness of movement patterns.

The experiential classes are somatic classes in efficient movement patterning, where amongst other things, we learn through experiencing Principles (i.e. Core Support, Breath Support, Axis of length, Dynamic Alignment, Developmental Patterning and Rotary Support).
