Creative Movement based on Bartenieff Fundamentals
Bartenieff Fundamentals is an approach to movement training that deals with patterning connections in the body, according to principles of efficient functioning, within a context which encourages personal expression and full psychophysical involvement.

Irmgard Bartenieff was a physiotherapist who worked with Rudolph Laban and consequently developed exercises to increase core and breath support, weight sensing, dynamic alignment and spatial intent. Her motto was motivate to activate.

The goal of BF is to facilitate the lively interplay of inner connectivity for efficient body functioning with outer expressivity. We work with the concepts of inner-outer, stability-mobility, function-expression and exertion-recuperation. Exploring BF utilizes the entire framework of Laban Movement Analysis: Body, Effort, Shape, Space.
