Learning from your body
An emersive method at the CNAC
Learning from your living body is now possible. This book brings together films recorded on GoPro cameras, complied on a DVD produced by Raoul Bender, our photographs taken at training sessions and our interviews with artists from the National Centre for Circus Arts (Centre national du cirque, CNAC) in Châlons-en-Champagne.
Each person can recognise three types of movements in their bodies : the involuntary gestures that our living body makes as it adapts, gestures integrated by techniques and learning, and intentional gestures that are aware of our motor decisions.
Emotions, affects, fear and vertigo find unique information in the living body which contribute to our well-being. Analysing movement boosts both body confidence and self-esteem. Sharing gestures with other bodies nurtures good intercorporeality.
Bernard Andrieu, a philosopher, is a professor at Paris Descartes University, Director of the Body Technics and issues Laboratory (TEC EA 3625) and coordinator of GDRI 836 CNRS.
