ABSTRACT
Change of support is so much part of our daily lives that students do not anticipate the degree to which they need to become conscious of exactly what takes place; they often become selfconscious and even awkward. Supporting on different parts of the body is usually part of the childhood experience, but as adults, even though we sit, kneel and lie— think of an afternoon on the beach—to do so in the studio may seem strange and foreign if previous movement training has not included a comfortable feeling for use of the floor, a familiarity with it for situations other than standing on the feet.
