Qualities of Movement
The four factors that act on motion are: gravity, space, time, and flow.
Gravity
Any body is affected by gravity. It can, however, be used as an expressive element. There are two possibilities:
- In support of the gravitational force.
- Against it.
Space
The range of movement within the body also develops in space.
Movement Direction
- Direct: Movement in a single direction.
- Flexible or Indirect: Movement changing direction.
Movement Extension
- Constrained
- Large
Time
Every movement has a duration in time, as well as intensity, tone, and intention. There are two main types:
- Sustained movement: long, slow, continuous.
- Sudden or impulsive movement: short, fast.
These two modes connect the musical universe with the universe of body language.
