Workshop: The Harmonics of Polarities |
|
Following the success of the popular workshop Dynamic Boundaries through LBMS attended by nearly 100 participants at International Symposium of LBMS in April, Brenton is going to offer a second workshop to the Chinese and international LBMS community. Within LBMS there exist many important concepts expressed as polarities, such as Exertion-Recuperation, Function-Expression, and Stability-Mobility. Frequently polarities are seen as mutually exclusive opposites. However, Laban appreciated the rhythmic flow between polarities as one aspect of what he considered “harmony”. This experiential workshop will explore a number key polarities within LBMS as well as how to approach working with them. . Read more |
