The course physically and theoretically examines all major components of the Laban/Bartenieff System:  Irmgard Bartenieff's somatic system and Basic Six Exercises, Integrated Movement Studies' Patterns of Total Body Connectivity, and Laban's theories of Effort, Shape, and Space Harmony.  As a community of people invested in the value of human movement, we will hold the question:  what can I know from my moving body?
