body mass index
The human body is living in time and space, and it exhibits some effort. Thus, all movements occur in time, through space, and with effort
Schrader, 1996
This is the area the performers occupy and where they move. It can be divided into four SPACE different aspects, also known as spatial elements.
Space
4 different aspects of space
direction, size, level, focus
dance movements can travel in any direction. The performers can go forward, side, backward, diagonal, circular, and so on. They may also face any direction while executing a single movement or several phrases.
direction
movements can be varied by doing larger or smaller actions.
size
movements can be done in a high, medium, or low level.
level
performers may change their focus by looking at different directions.
focus
The movements in timing may be executed in varying tempo (speed). Performers move with the tempo of an underlying sound, known as beat or pulse.
timing
The movements here propelled by energy of force. A force can either initiate or stop an action
dance energies
Movements trace a curved line in an art in space. The movements are relaxed and giving in to the gravity on the dowriward of the motion, followed by an upward application of energy
swinging
Movements are perched in space are hanging on air. holding a raised leg in any direction is an example of a suspended moment
suspended
Movements are released intention in gradually or abruptly giving into gravity, letting the body descent to the floor. a slow collapse can be described as a melting or oozing action In the downward direction (Minton, 2007).
collapsing
Movements are done smoothly, continuously, and with flow and does not have a clear beginning and ending.
sustained
Movements are explosive or sharp in contrast with sustain movements. They are accented with thrust or energy. They have a clear beginning and ending.
percussive
Movements consist of trembling or shaking a faster version of percussive movements that produces jittery effect (Minton, 2007).
vibratory
It refers to how the entire body is molded in space or the configuration of body parts. The body can be rounded, angular, or a combination of two.
