Laban/Bartenieff and Somatic Studies Canada™ (LSSC) in affiliation with the Laban/Bartenieff Institute of Movement Studies (LIMS®) present a Laban Movement Analysis Certificate Program (with the award of CMA), in Modular Format.
IN VANCOUVER:
Module IV – December 4-18, 2009
Choreutic Space and the Integration of Shape
This module requires successful completion of Module Two, or the equivalent experience in the category of ‘Shape’ in Laban Movement Analysis. It includes in-depth study and practice in Laban's sophisticated and illuminating theories of 'Space Harmony'; while enhancing intentional use of space, supported through the integration of changing qualities and modes of Shape. Laban's theories of Space as expressed in human movement patterns, draw on inner and outer unfolding spatial form and structure, repeating and balancing patterns of movement reflected in nature--specifically in the design of Plato's five solid polyhedra. Exploration and practice in this module develops the awareness and greater capacity for moving in space with intentionality, fullness, and greater adaptability. It also prepares students for integrating elements of BESS into a final Certification Project. Warren Lamb will be our special guest for this Module.
Module V – June 2-15, 2010
Integrating in a Final Application Project
The fifth module requires successful completion of all previous modules, or significant preparatory work for this Module. The Module includes advanced Space Harmony work, and integration of previously learned material into several mini-applications of LMA. It culminates in the formal presentation of Final Application Projects by graduating students. The Final Project is required for the award of Certification in Movement Analysis (CMA), and the Certificate in Movement Analysis and BodyMind Practice from LSSI. Presentations are open to faculty and students, and by individual invitation.
Students will prepare formal presentations of their Application Project just prior to and during this Module. Class time will include theoretical and practical integration of all aspects of BESS; as well as provide opportunity for feedback on all participants’ Final Projects.
Note: Integration of Bartenieff Fundamentals Practice is included throughout all Five Modules.
There will be a graduation ceremony and other events as closure to completion of the five modules in June 2010.

Our Modular Program provides in-depth study and practice in utilising Laban Movement Analysis and Bartenieff Fundamentals(SM) (LMA/BF) as a framework for movement analysis; while deepening perception of movement experience, movement vocabulary and understanding of non-verbal communication. Through the series of Five Modules, you will develop refined movement skills in observation and practice within each of the categories of Body/Effort/Shape/Space, as well as gain the ability to use a codified system of movement analysis when working with others, analysing your own work, staging/choreographing, communicating non-verbally, writing about or researching movement. You will develop greater anatomical efficiency and technical mastery through movement re-patterning, while significantly expanding the range of your individual expressivity. Through this course of training and study, you will uncover your individual perceptual biases in communicating and understanding movement as art and as lived experience – in teaching, performance, clinical and somatic practice, and in everyday life.
