Course
Description
Students will learn how LivingDance~LivingMusic™ uses The Twelve Stages of Somato Respiratory Integration
to generate here and now dances that shed light on the individual’s relationships to self and others. By working with
the interactions among breath, touch, and movement, students will see how a theory of dance/movement therapy can be grounded
in dance and how neurobiology, music, and dance affect one another. Developed originally for adults with eating disorders,
this approach has been used in a variety of settings from partial hospitalization for the mentally ill to normal neurotics
seeking to self-actualize. Live music.
· Students who complete the requirements for Part I will receive 1.5 credits towards certification

What is the relationship between dance/movement therapy and yoga? Learn
basic concepts, experience the process and learn specific techniques to integrate yoga into your personal and professional
life. Learn about the philosophy and panchamaya model of yoga and how it blends and differs from basic dance therapy theory.
Focusing mostly on asana, prananayama and bhavana (postures, breath and visualization,) we will practice a short
yoga sequence as well as a creative movement/dance exploration utilizing some of the asanas as a “theme”.

Lamb
Effort/Shape Compatibility
Warren Lamb studied at the Art of Movement Studio, Machester, England (1946-1950) then
continued as apprentice to Rudolf Laban in developing Laban/Lawrence Personal Effort Assessment. After Laban’s death in 1958 Lamb taught Effort/Shape to Irmgard Bartenieff and
helped her form the Effort/Shape Department of the Dance Notation Bureau in New York, which later became the Laban Institute
of Movement Studies. Lamb also taught Dr. Judith Kestenberg and worked
with her Child Development Group in Long Island, New York for many years on the development of the Kestenberg Movement Profile. Lamb was responsible for developing Action Profiling, now re-named Movement Pattern
Analysis and formed Warren Lamb Associates, based in London, to apply it, primarily in the field of Business Management, but
also in other fields. He is now seeking to gain more recognition
for Movement Study as a discipline in its own right and is also working on the contribution to Decision-Making Theory and
to Gender Studies. Lamb’s work is documented in multiple
books and DVDs.
