Much of human communication is nonverbal, through body and movement expression and messages. Different cultures and societies have their own nonverbal lexicons that are a crucial part of each person’s individual movement patterns. Conflicts between members of different cultures that often first unconsciously arise on the nonverbal level can contribute to serious misunderstandings of another’s behavior and motivation. This workshop offered participants an opportunity to explore those cultural and personal differences in movement style that may contribute to conflicts, such as those between Israelis and Palestinians. The authors use a descriptive language for human movement (Laban movement analysis) that provides objective and systematic information on “how” we move.
