Bartenieff Fund 5) inner-outer
our inner world has an impact on our outer world-the environment. Our choices leave footprints big or small. Also, the environment can effect our inner world. For example, If you are homosexual living with a family that is against homosexuality, your outer environment is harmful to your inner self. inner-outer doesn't just focus on the harmful effects though.
51
Bartenieff Fund 6) intent
not just how you approach something but WHY you approach something. Are you walking through central park with a loved one or are you on a way to an audition on the west side? Your intent behind the movement changes how you move.
52
Bartenieff Fund 7) Function
expression breeds functionality. If western medicine isn't helping, perhaps that patient has something they need to express. Through that expression, they are able to physically function. Functionality can also breed expression. It works both ways.
53
Bartenieff Fund 8) stability-mobility
