About the expressive body (1)

"Movement is common to all life. 

Movement influences individual and community alike. 

As basic as breath, it can be as transforming 

as changing one's breath pattern. 

When there is no more movement, there is death."

Jackie Hand,  "The Development of Rudolf von Laban's Movement Theories" in Giane Fernandez,  The Moving Resarcher. Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis in Performing Arts, Education and Creative Arts Therpies. Loc. 330
