As a somatic modality Laban Movement Analysis (LMA) shares values and methodologies with Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique, Body-Mind Centering and somatic psychology methods such as Somatic Experiencing. In application I can see, feel, and describe movement, using my language, perception, and informed touch to help you become more articulate in your body.
Like a language system for movement, LMA offers a theoretic underpinning for how we comprehend, construct, and make meaning with our bodies in space. Irmgard Bartenieff was a student of Laban’s who particularly expanded the functional and expressive embodiment of the teachings. I am a Certified Laban Movement Analyst (CLMA) having trained with Integrated Movement Studies (IMS). Review my Somatic Movement Therapy page to learn more in how I work.
