Dynamic Anatomy is an experiential anatomy class that focuses on the functional articulation of the body through the study of movement across species. The course uses embodied exploration to work through the biomechanics of key areas of the body concentrating on three types of movement: running, swimming and flying. We will then progress to the interconnections between the movement of bodies and the larger world, including body-conscious design. By combining movement analysis with scientific models of anatomy, students will gain tools applicable to many artistic and design practices, including (not limited to) animation/film; live performance; painting/drawing and illustration; and furniture, fashion, and industrial design. Class time will include readings, drawing, directed improvisations, and discussion.
