Talk:Bartenieff Fundamentals

Untitled
The current version of this article is missing various fundamentals, such as what it is. A layman attempting to infer what this is about could conclude it has something vaguely to do with either physiopherapy or dance. Joe D (t) 14:29, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Comments on Descriptions
The descriptions of the Fundamentals are using quotations from Hackney and Bartenieff but almost completely lack context. Additionally, it is so heavily based on quotations there is also no original material present. This risks copyright infringement, as anyone familiar with [1] or [2] will see immediately.

Re-write needed
Having done a little bit of homework - this article has been until know an almost complete copy and paste job from an article by Jeffery Longstaff for a PhD project - the link can be found here http://www.laban-analyses.org/jeffrey/2004-Bartenieff-fundamentals-Developmental-movement/summary-of-concepts.htm
Whilst Longstaff's interpretations are interesting, he is not an authority on the Bartenieff fundamentals and for encyclopaedic purposes more authoritative sources should be used and original material created.
I just wrote descriptions of the Basic Six based on my own practice of them, as introduced to me by a Certified Movement Analyst (ie graduate of Bartenieff's certification programme), and checked them against Irmgaard Bartenieff's own descriptions in Body Movement: Coping with the Environment (1980, p.231-239).
