Class Description:
This class provides an overview of Body-Mind Centering, a new approach to movement, mind and body developed over the past thirty years by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, O.T. Classwork includes improvisational movement explorations, hands-on re-patterning work and discussion designed to give direct experience of the way mind (desire, attention, and intention) is expressed through the various body systems. These systems are the skeletal, organ, muscle, fluid, nervous, and endocrine. In addition, students will study developmental movement, the baby movements that underlie our more complex adult movement. Imagery, touch, and anatomical information will be used as tools to help students access a range of inner sensations and movement experiences. Emphasis will be on the acknowledgement of each individual's unique experience of the body, as well as on the experiences we share as human beings. This class is experiential and includes movement, touch, lecture and class discussion. Students can expect to spend two to three hours per week in outside reading and keeping a journal. There is one quiz and one take home exam.
