ABSTRACT
Beyond Words aims to awaken awareness of movement, to provide analytic tools for accurate movement description, and to encourage con - scious reflection on the meaning of this silent dimension of behavior. What is presented in two modules is an integrative approach to making sense of human movement. Because it is not possible to enhance powers of observation by merely reading a book, four chapters are visual, with video - taped examples of movement behavior for study. These chapters, which are hosted on a website, incorporate exercises to increase movement aware ness, develop analytic skills, and link enhanced movement perception to reflective interpretations of behavior.
