Bartenieff Fundamentals NEXT: 3 days for those who have previously followed a BF training

This training is intended for those who have previously followed an introduction training in the Bartenieff Fundamentals (BF) with me, or a comparable training (such as the dance physiotherapy course at Psychfysio). In these 3 days, we will make a deep (in-depth) dive into the wonderful world of our moving body according to the principles of the Bartenieff Fundamentals. We will experience first-hand how we can move with even more ease, efficiency and pleasure. The overarching duality themes of the Laban Bartenieff Movement System help us to become aware of patterns and create balance. We will work with basic exercises, improvisation, body-oriented inquiries, partner work and group work.

For those who don't remember: BF is a body-oriented method in which the emphasis is on movement and body awareness as a psycho-physical process. Regular practice of BF supports the development of dynamic posture, coordination, flexibility, mobility, kinesthetic awareness and expression. It is an aid in reducing injuries, physical limitations or complaints, but also in learning to deal with stress better. The goal of BF is to move with ease, efficiency and expression. Not only your body-awareness but also your self-awareness is increased by the connection that is made with the internal process of the movement experience.

This training is an in-depth study for anyone who has previously become acquainted with the principles of the Bartenieff Fundamentals. The knowledge and skills you gain in this training can easily be integrated into your own work with dance, Pilates, but also in any other form of movement. Various principles of BF, such as dynamic posture, breathing and center support, rotation and developmental motor patterns are discussed again. These principles support organic, conscious and embodied movement. This includes fixed basic exercises and free movement improvisations. The exercises are supportive for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of movement and dance. In BF you learn to perceive and train effective and connected movement in the body, to be able to use them in complex three-dimensional and dynamic movement possibilities.

This training is accredited by the Register of Professional Therapy. The training is listed under accredited refresher courses.
