Task 1: Learning about the Arthrometric model was interesting for me, I tended to notice what movement was coming from my hips and shoulders in the central zone. When running around the room, I was practising articulating my feet (using my metatarsals, hinge joint) and the gliding joints in my feet. I find that knowing the terminology for different parts of your body helps to image them when moving. I didn't fully know what to notice or understand the purpose. Learning about the radial symmetry was informative, ie; elbows and knees are biaxial, cannot alter direction but can offer full range in movement, and the joints from the knees to the ankles are triaxial, as are joints from elbow to hand. It's quite complicated and would take a few physical exercises of exploration, to fully grasp .

I feel my practise has significantly changed, especially in this past month. I feel experiential anatomy has played a huge part in development; as working with surface, alternating perceptions, (seeing out and internal awareness) yielding and yield and push/reach and pull have all been contributing factors. The imagery of the digestive tract has been an interesting source for me to work with. To move with this awareness I feel, even in the moving of the simplest of tasks, has allowed me to see my movement open up and soften, even elongate and be allowed to breathe. The imagery of the mouth has been another interesting one, in terms of I've heard others say they struggle to connect with this stimulus but, in my own moving, I found a way to use it where it was another initiation point for me and I noticed a different quality to my moving, which allowed me to experiment with weight. Weight is one thing this month that I feel I've played with; my one goal has been from the star...
Ive said about the Arthrometric model in another post but the lesson plan we had today was putting the model into practice I think. We had to work in trios, and experience aswell as giving, with the rocking exercises, gripping the legs, arms and torso area. To Give: When rocking Katie and Janiece the momentums of the rocking were so different. Janiece had a slow and steady pace, whereas katies rocked quite fast, especially when her legs were involved. When the legs were involved on both of them, I noticed the partnership of the other person on the other side would quickly become out of sync, and we had to work together to stop the receiver feeling disjointed. I noticed that katie struggled to let go of weight, especially with the exercise of letting Janiece and I move her muscles, but I think we all struggled with this area. It was either weight was given in the leg or in the arm, never both at the same time. I think Janiece was the best out of all of us in giving weight, you coul...
