OVERVIEW

Body expression refers to facial, gestural, and postural language in constant communication with oneself, others, and the environment.

Body expression is essential in conducting individual and group motor, sports, and leisure activities. Professionally, it teaches observation, understanding, and creation through movement, and is therefore useful in teaching and in amateur, competitive, or more simply in the countless possible forms of gymnastic activities.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The teaching aims to provide technical and methodological knowledge to design and conduct individual and group leisure activities, with particular attention to the communicative-expressive aspect, and to develop skills in the field of expressive languages and the interaction between movement and affective/cognitive processes.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

This teaching module deepens the technical and methodological knowledge aimed at achieving a unique and unrepeatable spontaneous expression for each individual, in the recreational, motor, and sports fields.

Results:

- Possess the knowledge and cultural and methodological tools necessary to understand, design, organize, and conduct physical, sporting, and leisure activities at the individual and group levels, with particular attention to the communicative-expressive aspect.

- Develop skills in expressive languages and the interaction between movement and emotional/cognitive processes.

- Discover new communicative contexts, through the body, gesture, posture, and facial-mimicry language, putting ourselves at stake on bodily potentialities that have been little explored in everyday life, also stimulated by the use of recovery tools or codified tools, but used creatively.

- Acquire an exploratory method based on observation, listening, and perception, necessary not only for personal growth but also for perfecting movement, which is useful professionally in fields ranging from the expressive field to sport.

TEACHING METHODS

Classroom lectures supported by multimedia tools (computers, projector video, films, music, etc).

Notes in telematic mode Web room.

Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), disabilities, or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the School/Department disability contact at the beginning of the course to agree on any teaching methods that, in compliance with the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning methods and provide suitable compensatory tools/dispensatives recognized by the University's SLD Student Service.

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Ability to experience and perceive the many ways in which the same movement can be performed. Communicative-expressive aspect.

Space and time: space as volume, personal space, and general space. Time as rhythmic choices of performance.

Move in a personal, spontaneous, and non-stereotypical way, following your own rhythm or the proposed rhythm, sometimes based on simple deliveries; experimenting with the basic body schema and motor patterns in the freest and most creative way possible.

Observe composing, representing, representing, playing with and without tools (balls of various kinds, ropes, pieces of fabric, empty plastic bottles), representing ideas, moods and stories through gestures and postures individually, in pairs, in groups.

Observation and analysis of movement. Recognize the possible interactions between expressive languages and other fields, artistic, educational, sports, etc.

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

No specific text recommended, but summary concept maps and sample teaching unit thesis in the Web Room.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The examination is oral (a practical part – gymnastic progression can be performed).

Learning is assessed through the final exam alone, which aims to ascertain the student's actual acquisition of the expected learning outcomes.

To pass the exam, the student must therefore have a grade of no less than 18/30 and have attended 70% of the relevant technical-practical lessons (ATP).

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The oral exam will take into account the ongoing test, to verify the achievement of an adequate level of practical and theoretical skills, including in an individual research field, to integrate and manage the expressive field in sport and the creative movement.
