  6. When we look at the interaction of people moving in the environment - no matter what the activity is - the underlying concepts are the same. • Many times these movement concepts are themes that lessons are based on - for example, Educational Gymnastics & Modern Dance.

  7. Western Philosophy • The view of the body in traditional programs • The emphasis on functional movement - movement as a means to an end • The focus on fitness assessment and health from a scientific perspective

  8. Expressive Bodies • Why the interest/participation and development of artistic sport in all the various environments?

  10. The Aesthetic Experience • Subjective aesthetic • Objective aesthetic • Reference: Lowe, B. (1977), The beauty of sport, New Jersey: Prentice Hall.

  11. Can we have an aesthetic “way” of experiencing something? Yes, many things can be perceived aesthetically, such as sport . . . .but not all things are works of art.

  13. Criteria for judging artistic sport • difficulty risk clarity • strength balance • Patterns levels directions in SPACE • Amplitude • Interpretation of music • Flow transitions linkage

  14. “Ice skating move . . . 10 yards.”

  15. “Basic dance is primarily concerned with motion . . but the basketball player is also . . but not primarily. Their action is a means toward an end beyond motion. In basic dance the motion is its own end - that is, it is concerned with nothing beyond itself.” -Alwin Nikolais, choreographer

  16. Knowing in dance concerns body awareness & movement awareness -kinesthetic, synesthetic, aesthetic

  17. Unity of body mind & spirit • What is your experience of Eastern Movement Disciplines? • What are some of the different activities? What activities are happening in secondary education?

  18. Eastern Philosophy Yin - feminine Yang - masculine Non-dualistic or holistic view Perception that all things are connected and interrelated “lived body” embodied consciousness Eastern philosophy requires embodied understanding

  19. EMDs include: • Eastern martial arts e.g. karate tai chi aikido • Eastern meditation practice e.g. qi gong yoga

  20. EMDs may offer a meaningful way to re-think “physical” education with the potential to educate students about cultural diversity, the body-mind connection, self-awareness, self control . . . and promote overall fitness and an active lifestyle Historically emphasis on teacher education programs has been on technical knowledge

  21. “the world is not what I think but what I live through” fostering self-actualization and enlightenment bring us to a sense of our wholeness

  22. A heightened attention to the body, to the present ongoing movement, is particularly important in activities such as artistic sport, dance, yoga and Tai Chi . . . Come ready tomorrow to participate in Yoga and Tai Chi - Saville Gym at 9 am . . .
