The Laban/Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS) is the most widespread system in the world for understanding and analyzing the language of movement in expressive and functional terms.
It is a global system used to understand multiple aspects of human movement. The LBMS methodology incorporates a theoretical framework and specific terminology to describe movement. The system is used to identify, represent and interpret both macro and micro patterns of human movement.
As an analysis system, LBMS is unique in that it identifies and codifies both qualitative and quantitative aspects of movement. The system is also capable of identifying and differentiating universal patterns common to all human beings, group patterns, including culturally relevant patterns, and those that identify unique characteristics of an individual.
The 120-hour WholeMovement LBMS Level I Training offers students the basic knowledge of the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System to:
- analyze the language of the body in movement through the components of Body Space, Shape and Effort
- acquire tools for understanding and describing movement as well as expanding movement capacity
- understand and explore Bartenieff Fundamentals (BF) as part of LBMS, thorugh its concepts and methods for movement practice based in foundational aspects of human motor patterns
- develop accuracy and clarity in the language and practice of movement applicable to all professional and artistic activities including but not limited to: dance, theatre, art therapy.
- understand how LBMS can be used as a Somatic Movement Education application and Therapeutic intervention
The Laban/Bartenieff Movement System allows students to develop analytical observation skills, an indispensable tool for people who use movement in their professional and creative work.
