Laban Movement Phrase

Today we created a movement phrase based on the following parameters:

  1. Leading/Initiated movement with a particular body part
  2. Primary weight in a place that is not your feet
  3. Sliding with weight
  4. Sliding without weight

The phrase I created was task based and ended up being really interesting. I might have done these movements without these tasks, but what was most interesting was the intention and focus required to make sure the movement was most about sliding without weight or initiating with the elbow.
