Patterns of Body Connectivity

 

I

Warm Up

II

Several subcategories of body are:

Initiation of movement starting from specific bodies

Connection of different bodies to each other

Sequencing of movement between parts of the body

 
Patterns of body organization and connectivity

Patterns of Connectivity

 

 With knowledge of Laban's concepts, via Bartenieff, Peggy Hackney identified six developmental patterns of body connectivity: breath, core-distal, head-tail, upper-lower, body- half, and cross-lateral.

Question 2

After trying and/or observing the different movement patterns, explain how did it feel to put your body through this work?
