Body Rhythms: The meaning of movement through the lens of the Kestenberg Movement Profile (KMP)

The presentation will introduce the KMP tension-flow rhythms and their meaning. Before we learn to use language, we already communicate our needs nonverbally in complex ways. This preverbal language is based on tension flow- and shape flow rhythms and is usually intuitively understood. How do we express the need to indulge or separate nonverbally? How does the KMP help us to understand the connections of movement and psychological meaning? How does it illuminate the workings of the 'soft animal of our body'?

The presentation will outline the influence of kinesthetic movement feedback (rhythms) on individuals and tactile movement feedback in interaction (embraces), with rhythms and shaping as independent variables. Research on the causal influence of afferent feedback from the body on affect, attitudes and cognition is extended into the dynamic realm and systematized into the separate influence of movement shape and movement quality. The empirical studies described outline the implications of movement qualities on both the individual and interpersonal level
