Welcome To LIMS EDUCATION

Explore your most fundamental language, your birthright.

From birth, we cultivate a natural language of movement, using our bodies to perform various functions, express meanings, and communicate. Movement is integral to all human activities, encompassing politics, society, culture, science, history, and art. Through a diverse range of educational programs, LIMS Education offers the opportunity to not only acknowledge movement as an innate language but also to observe, analyze, and utilize it more effectively and meaningfully in our lives. Join us in the world of movement studies!

Introduction to Bartenieff Fundamentals^sm

The Bartenieff Fundamentals^sm (BF) are a set of principles developed by Irmgard Bartenieff, who studied with Rudolf Laban. Bartenieff developed a methodology exploring the principles of kinesiological functioning that can be used to observe and analyze our bodies in motion and which can be extended to all types of movement possibilities. Immerse yourself in an extraordinary, integrative movement experience that goes beyond technique. Explore the underlying principles of movement through the lens of Bartenieff – this somatic movement approach that is shaking up and waking up the fitness, performing arts, and communication worlds.
