Inner Attitude
It seems important to understand the mentioned expression
” Inner Attitude”
When we speak about an attitude towards a movement factor, one attempts to describe verbally the relation of a person towards either space, flow, time or weight.
There are two opposing main attitude pols: either “Fighting or Giving in”
towards a movement factor.
Inner Attitude-External Expression
Generally spoken expresses the external perceived body movement the inner state or attitude of a person. Only by an emotional motivated action will be an expressive body movement perceptible. Functional actions can appear with the same body shape, same spatial orientation, time and force but don’t carry any emotional content. The action seems motivated out of physical, instinctual, rhythmical…. or practical reasons.
When the external outcome opposes the inner attitude, means internally calm and relaxed and externally quick and swift or internally stressed, rushed and externally slow and controlled, expressive variations appear.
Fighting/Giving in Attitude
Must be understood in relation to the Movement factors
Space
Fighting Space- a direct, peripheral and pinpointed movement intension needs a high and clearer space attention and concentration.
Giving in Space- roundish, central, aimless movements need less space attention and concentration.
Time
Fighting Time- it exists an urgency, a time pressure, a shorter amount of time to complete an action, so one must force oneself, put an effort, to make it at the given time, one can define this as a fighting attitude towards the factor time
Giving in Time- the time limit isn’t urgent, no or less feeling of pressure to complete the action.
Weight
Fighting Weight- Moving against gravity by muscular force, resisting the pull of gravity is defined as a fighting attitude towards the factor weight.
Giving in Weight- giving in the body weight to the pull of gravity, diminishing the resisting energy, the muscular force is defined a giving in attitude towards the factor weight
The inner attitude shows one’s personal intension, a particular characteristic of an individual, the essence of a person or character in relation to life, daily life actions, specific circumstances, confrontations, social relations etc. expressed through the relation to time/space/weight/energy and flow.
