Musical body rhythmics for the development of movement in blind people. Tubía Method
CONTENTS
Aimed at:
Blind people of all ages, as well as their relatives.
This course is for blind people and their families (individual classes) and for schools of blind childrens (group classes for blind children and their teachers)
The development of body rhythmics is a maturation of the motor control system of the human being. The aim of this course is to teach blind people, with practical exercises, what rhythmic movement is in terms of the technical domains of the essential and substantial, in different themes of movement and to acquire a mastery of it for a greater development of psychomotor skills.
If the blind person knows, learns and masters body rhythmics and basic dance technique, a much broader understanding of movement opens up for them, which will also help them to be more confident in mastering their body in environments and to better understand the nuances of movement in countless activities of everyday life.
This rhythmics method comprises a programme of rhythmic exercises practised with music selected for its psychomotor, emotional and proprioceptive sensory induction. The exercises are classified by movement themes for their theoretical presentation (gait, side steps, coordination, weight control, etc.).
A progressive order, guidelines and a way of proceeding are established for the understanding of movements by the blind person. All this adapted for a cognitive work of domain of the body.
This method brings a harmonic technique to the field of teaching movement to blind people. The activity proposed by the Tubía method is a musical body rhythmics programme, which involves physical education, ear education and rhythmic movement education.
Selected music of all genres and rhythms accompanies the exercises.
Practical classes:
The programme of rhythmic exercises with music in this course, which is developed in practical workshops, deals with the following movement themes:
1. WALKING EXERCISES:
- On a theme of movement such as walking, we work on the awareness of proprioceptive sensations induced by a musical repertoire selected for this purpose and in a wide range of speeds.
- Music-induced proprioceptive sensations
- Harmonic gait coordinations
- Rhythmic sequences. Temporal and spatial articulations
- Group figures and trajectories (body and spatial orientation).
- Harmonic block movement in a group: work on proprioceptive sensations and audio-motor coordination.
- Exercises that contribute to the perception of the straight line.
2. AWARENESS OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE SENSATIONS:
- In individual movement
- In partner movement
- In group movement
- Bodily sensations of unison and harmony in group movement
3. ARMS EXERCISES:
- Joint mechanics of the natural arm movement
- Dancing arm movements
- Rhythmic arm exercises that contribute to arm-leg coordination.
- Rhythmic arm exercises that contribute to the development of the adjustment of the centre of gravity.
4. SIDE STEPS AND LATERAL DISPLACEMENTS
- Rhythmic sequences
