Direction
Pathways
Focus
Size
Shape: circles, squares,
triangles, etc. made with
parts of the body, the

of people, or by moving
through space.
Level:The vertical
distance from the floor.
(High, Medium, or Low)

Duration
Beat:The on going
underlying pulse.
Tempo: How fast or
slow the movements.
Accent: Strong beats
that usually occur at
regular intervals.
Rhythmic Patterns:

Duration:The length of
time the movement
lasts.
 FORCE
How the body uses
energy while moving.
 FORCE = ENERGY
Heavy / Light
Sharp / Smooth
Tensed / Relaxed
Bound / Flowing
 Bound / Flowing
Bound = releasing energy
in a controlled, restrained
manner.
Flowing = releasing energy
freely.
