Study Notes
Theory of Movement
- Rudolf von Laban emphasized movement as an instrument of expression, distinguishing between expressive movement and functional movement.
- Expressive movement communicates ideas through art forms, while functional movement serves specific purposes in everyday tasks and sports.
- Laban identified four critical factors of movement: weight, space, time, and flow, forming the foundation of movement education.
Curricular Approach Development
- The 1960s to 1980s saw an evolution in movement education, building on Laban's focus on the inner attitude of movers.
- Educators aimed to integrate movement concepts into three learning domains: cognitive, psychomotor, and affective.
- Schools adopted a "natural approach" to teach movement, encouraging children to explore freely according to their developmental stages.
- Teachers facilitated this exploration with simple equipment (balls, wands, ropes) to support individual and group movement responses.
Diem's Educational Approach
- Liselott Diem emphasized developing movement skills and balance in children.
- Teachers were encouraged to engage children with challenging questions about movement, promoting self-discovery and awareness of movement quality.
- Older children focused on understanding muscular force and coordination in time and space.
Legacy of Rudolf von Laban and Delsarte
- Rudolf von Laban (1879-1958): Recognized as a pioneer in movement education.
- François Delsarte developed applied aesthetics, connecting mind, body, and spirit and conceptualizing movement as a union of time, space, and motion.
- Delsarte introduced the notion of parallelism in movement, where two body parts move simultaneously, along with nine laws of motion encompassing various dimensions like altitude, force, and velocity.
- Delsarte's contributions significantly influenced the development of movement education principles.
