Spacial Dynamics (HS 140)

I  Projected Learning Goals and Objectives:

A deeper understanding of movement, spatial awareness, and human development. Age-appropriate movement activities for high school-age students, as well as work on our own movement as teachers.

II  Overview of Course Content and Methods:

Through movement activities and spatial awareness exercises we will explore themes such as:

  • human uprightness
  • spatial streams and posture
  • forces of gravity and levity
  • center and periphery
  • movement and counter-movement
  • personal/interpersonal space and sense of self/other
  • movement and its threefold relationship to thinking, feeling, and willing

III  Verification Requirements and Evaluation Methods:

Honoring the variance in levels of ability among the participants, students will be asked to take part as fully as possible and with a willingness to engage in all activities. Students should be open to the possibility of change and further development in their spatial awareness independent of their current ability.
