The importance of movement in human life on the example of the method of Rudolf Laban and Veronica Sherborn's.
RUDOLF von LABAN was born in 1879 in Bratislava. He died in 1958 in Addlestone. Initially a painter, gymnast, then a dancer. First he founded his dance school in Switzerland. After World War I moved to Germany where he was a proponent of dance liberated, a prominent choreographer and creator of the modern cinematography. Be the first to observe natural human capabilities and put them in a special physical scale- which showed that all the possibilities of human movement formed what is the ideal body of a bullet. Since that time began to emerge "Laban's canters" in which dancing was considered as a form of educational impact. In 1938. For fear of reprisals R. Laban moved permanently to England and devoted research in the field of motion analysis. Proposed by Laban system of symbols movements has become a universal language of contemporary cinematography. R. Laban died in 1958. Leaving a huge legacy in the field of studies of traffic and modern style of his writing.
In the method of R. Laban and Sherborne we distinguish several categories of movement: - traffic that leads to knowledge of one's own body (a special attention is paid here to the feet, knees, legs, hips- because they underpin the weight of the body and control of movements of these parts determines the body to maintain balance)- Traffic shaping relationship with the environment physical (the goal is to develop orientation in space and on the basis of the formation of the relationship between man and what surrounds it. At this stage, physical exercises are held as low as possible.- Movement leading to the formation of a relationship with another man (make contact, build trust /Confidence- fan- frolicking) in this category can be divided by type of traffic.- Movement "with" (exercise. Movement in which one partner is active 2 guardianship)- Movement "against" (exercise. Movement, which are designed to make participants aware of their own strength. There are fun to mount, pushing, wrestling. They have character pseudo-agressive allowing children to know their own and others' responses, learn coping conflict, realize emotions)- Movement "Together" (exercise. Requiring equal involvement of partners, lead to the formation of harmony and balance.)- Movement leading to the teamwork (exercise. Delivers to 3, and then the whole group. Here, too, there is a movement "of against time")- Creative movement (features of this movement are: the spontaneity of freedom)
Laban recognized the following aspects, which can be used for traffic analysis:
1. Characteristics of motion: for, which consists of energy networks, fluidity, space and time;
2. The directions of movement: high-low, from side to the side, back-front;
3. Relationship with gravity: heaviness - lightness;
4. A compound with a partner and group; "against", "together" - 3-4 persons group
WERONIKA SHERBORNE -She lived in the years 1922-1990 was trained as a teacher of physical education and physical therapist. She worked as a therapist or physiotherapist- movement. She collaborated with Laban. In the 50s he came into contact with mental disability issues and this caused that began to develop his own method of impact on mentally disabled children and educate teachers in this regard. The origins of Sherborne method derived from the theory of Laban. Many, however, brought to Laban's theory, developing it toward the humanities. We see her holistic human person is the centre of attention. She pointed out the need to develop close ties between people, important for the development of the child's personality, underestimated and not implemented in education.
METHODS ASSUMPTIONS
Developmental Movement Method was developed in the years 50-60. Over the past 20 years the method Sherborne became part of the therapies children with disabilities and supporting the development of children without the disorder (there is better communication and a better knowledge of themselves).The method is recommended to support and stimulate the development of children, youth and adults physically handicapped and mentally. Increasingly, Developmental Movement sessions are run for adults residing in nursing homes. In his work can apply this method: therapists, educators, psychologists, social care workers, parents and all who work for the disabled. Developmental Movement Method early sitting refers to the human experience using touch, movement, relationships physical, emotional and social to spread awareness of self and deepen contact with other people. The method refers to the most primary means of communication, which is the "body language". Developmental Movement gives you a chance to make up for the stage "romping". We can categorize her non-verbal interpersonal training (for the processes taking place in the group).
*Developmental Movement Method can be used as a method:
Therapeutic - working with children with impaired psychomotor development and, above all, in the case of mental retardation. Also for the children of the. Intellectual standard, manifesting disturbances in the range of emotional and social. This method is sometimes used as a preliminary step to other therapy classes, for example. Children who have difficulty in reading and writing, in the treatment of psychological and speech therapy for children who stutter or psychotherapy of neurotic children.
•Supporting development (it stimulates) - useful in working with children who are in institutions of collective education.
• Preventative - as a form of assistance to children, adolescents, adults in difficult situations.
•Unbend on schoolwork, relaxing activities for example parents.

My comments:
Our exercise was to do all this movements name in different space ,weight and time to check how does this exercise work and how we going to feel in the end of the lesson. Is something going to change and could we see any differences from the beginning and in the end.. Personally I found this exercise quite funny, of course in a good way. It was the first time where I could play around with my body, make different various transformations , combinations and have fun at the same time. But also I found this exercise quite useful because in the end of this session I saw that I could express my character's emotion easier than before, this help me to relax my body and open my mind more even if we were doing crazy stuff around us..
