The goal of the EUROLAB Certificate Programs in Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies is to gain a comprehensive understanding of movement, as well as to link the inner and outer experience of movement. The movement studies are always put into a theoretical context, which can only be understood through your own movement experience.
This approach produces new connections and a new kind of holistic understanding: “moving knowledge“. In other words, you will improve your work with movement, because of an in-depth knowledge of how you and others move.
The EUROLAB Certificate Program in Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies is a further education with a total of four years training. It is done in two steps: first two years in the Basic level and then two years in the Advanced level. Each level finishes with a certificate, which is awarded by the European Association for Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies -EUROLAB e.V.
With successful completion of the Basic level, and the Certificate "Basic", the acquired knowledge can be applied in the professional field of the trainee.
After successful graduation of the Advanced Level, with the certificate and the title "Certified Laban Movement Analyst" (CLMA), the graduate will be able to use the material in-depth in their field of application and is qualified to teach introductory courses in Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies.
Basic + Advanced = Certified Laban Movement Analyst
