DANC 103 SC - Language of the Body: Analyzing Human Movement

This course provides a comprehensive approach to the physical, emotional, and intellectual meaning of movement as a medium for non-verbal communication. The framework for this exploration is the evolving system of movement analysis, observation, and notation developed by Rudolf Laban and Irmgard Bartenieff. Students will move through categories of a system known as BESS (Body, Effort, Shape, Space) and discuss how these categories apply to their own body knowledge/body prejudice, movement potential, and various fields of application.
