Our Intensive 2-Day Weekend Workshop: Introduction to Bartenieff Fundamentals (LMA) runs from 10:00AM to 5:00PM on Saturday & Sunday and are taught by experienced LIMS Certified Movement Analysts (CMAs)

Bartenieff Fundamentals (BF) are a set of principles developed by Irmgard Bartenieff, who studied with Rudolf Laban. Bartenieff developed a methodology exploring the principles of kinesiological functioning that can be used to to observe and analyze our bodies in motion that can be extended into all types of movement possibilities. Immerse yourself in an extraordinary, integrative movement experience that goes beyond technique. Explore the underlying principles of movement through the lens of Bartenieff; this somatic movement approach that is shaking up and waking up the fitness, performing arts, and communication worlds.

Required for entry for the LIMS® Certification Program in Laban Movement Studies.

It is highly recommended that this workshop be taken in conjunction with Introduction to Laban Movement Analysis (LMA).
