The Kinesthetic Loop

 The Kinesthetic Loop

kinesthetic sense: the process that regulates and guides voluntary movement, a process that involves movement awareness and decision-making 

movement forms: patterns that are aesthetically fulfilling 

kinesthetic loop: demands the use of senses in different art forms 

sensing and feeling are intertwined simultaneously 

kinesthetic experience: the loop of communication running back and forth from the body to the brain

two phases of kinesthetic experience: awarenes of subjective and objective experience of moving and express through your body

self identification with experience: being aware of your emotional relationship to information coming to you via senses 

force: how movement happens

time: when movement happens

space: where movement happens

3 forms: unison, compliment, and contrast
