This guide to creative movement, relevant to all age groups, opens with a discussion of historical and present trends in movement and dance. Chapters treat (a) the body--body awareness, body activities, and relationships; (b) principles of movement--space, force, time, dynamics, and fluency; (c) topics within the sphere of movement, from the world around and within, and stimulated through objects; and (d) program planning--general comments, framework for a lesson plan, and program examples. Concluding sections deal with movement in relation to sound and other areas of art and learning and with some of the psychological aspects of movement. (JCW)
