Welcome to another fabulous semester of Stage Movement! We will begin to post our reading responses here again starting next week, and I'm so excited I will post this video of a not-so-famous virtuoso movement-centered clown, in anticipation of our future clowning unit. Enjoy, and again, welcome to class! ~Prof. Jenn

  1. Hello Prof. Jenn, This is Nikki Lucero from Stage Movement. I dont know why I cant post anything on here so im going to post my policy on the comment. Hopefully you can see it. This video was cool.
    Spontaneity - I think that I am locking in my own habits but I think that I can still react freely. If I am not thinking about my movements I probably stick to my old habits of movement but if I were to think about them then I can change my movements and with practice I could probably gain other habits.

  2. Seeing Others
    Movement in other people is viewed as expression in how they go about their lives. It is most free when they are by themselves with no restrictions and no outside changes such as being in public places. Yoga definitely frees one’s body to personal expression. I think the work place definitely inhibits one’s personal movements.

  3. Body movements relate to communication by signaling what you are trying to express. I use body movements to further my communication past words. Distance is created by moving away but still somewhat engaging one another. Communication is produced by hand gestures and your stance.

  4. Range of movement is the length in which someone feels comfortable in moving. It is definitely limited by what someone wants to show; how they want to be perceived by others. A way for moving freely is opening up your mind to new movements and allowing your mind and body to move without barriers.
