Every theoretical framework is built upon a set of
fundamentalconcepts.
These concepts are not independent definitions but interrelatedways
of understanding the body as an ongoing process.
Within MLB, no concept can be understood
inisolation.
Layer, Becoming, Critical Body, Environment, Perception,
andChoreography describe different aspects of the same phenomenon.
Together they form the conceptual foundation of Multi
LayeredBody.
0. Organization
Every body is organized.
Muscles are organized.
Perception is organized.
Memory is organized.
Attention is organized.
Movement is organized.
Even the sense of self is organized.
MLB understands the body not as an object but as a temporary organization of multiple relationships.
Organization is therefore not a stable structure.
It is an ongoing process through which the body continuously forms and reforms itself.
1. Body
The body is not an object.
The body is a dynamic organization of relationships that continuously emerges through interactions with perception, memory, environment, gravity, time,
andothers.
It is never complete.
It is always becoming.
2. Layer
Layer is a dimension through which the body is organized.
It is not an anatomical level but a relational dimension.
Main Layers
Spatial Layer
Temporal Layer
Sensory Layer
Environmental Layer
Relational Layer
Memory Layer
Imaginary Layer
Attention Layer
MLB Interpretation
3. Becoming
Becoming is the continuous process through which the body reorganizes itself.
The body never reaches a final state.
Every encounter generates another body.
4. Environment
Environment is not what surrounds the body.
Environment participates in the body's formation.
5. Perception
Perception is not passive reception.
Perception actively reorganizes the body.
. Critical Body
これはMLB最大の独自概念になります。
Definition
6. Critical Body
Critical body is a transitional state in which established bodily organization becomes unstable and new organizations emerge.
Characteristics
Between
Control / Non-control
Self / Environment
Past / Present
Stability / Instability
Habit / Emergence
7. Assemblage
Assemblage describes the temporary organization connecting body, environment, perception, objects, time, and movement.
8. Choreography
Definition
Choreography is the design of conditions that enable bodily transformation.
9. Performance
Performance is not representation.
Performance is the manifestation of bodily becoming.
10. Practice
Practice is research.
Practice is experimentation.
Practice creates conditions for bodily reorganization.
11. Research
Research is not the search for correct movement.
Research investigates the conditions under which bodies emerge.
