Bodystorming Technique
The Bodystorming Technique is based on asking participants to enact Full-Body movement and gestures using their own body as a central design instrument to think of specific physical actions for a Full-Body Interaction Learning Environment.
Description:
The Bodystorming Technique is based on asking participants to enact Full-Body movement and gestures using their own body as a central design instrument to think of specific physical actions for a Full-Body Interaction Learning Environment.
Benefits:
- Emergence of meaning from children’s movements with their own body and in relation to bodily representations of their peers
- Expressive movement explorations shape children’s understanding of the capacities and constraints of the body in motion
- Enables new visions for collaborative interactions
- Promotes the imagination of spatial arrangements for the performance
