MMLM Ep 16: The Crispiani Method

So why movement? You know, I mean, we know Montessori's beautiful work.

We know the work of Itard.

He was French, though, wasn't he?

No.

Okay.

So

why

movement? Why did you take care of the movement?

I took care of the movement because our perspective is what is now called biopedagogy, which includes the analysis of human behavior.

Human behavior is, first of all, what impacts space and time, therefore motion, movement.

So for Professor Crispiani it's not only pedagogy, but it's a bio-pedagogy that belongs to movement.

So it's very important for our behavior.

What is our behavior? Our behavior is everything that impacts with space and time.

So movement is fundamental for our body and our mind.

Now, Professor has told me before that he really believes that movement, especially sensory motor movement, precedes all other pillars.

It precedes cognition, it precedes language, and I concur.

To Professor, what are the most important elements of movement if you're going to build a really high quality brain?

He says that movement is fundamental for you, so it is the construction of the entire sensory, cognitive and language system.

But what is the key element, the most important? What do you consider about movement?

So, we must consider movement in a complex way.

Movement is not only that of the arts, the physical one.

Movement is what mobilizes, that moves, that determines the movement and that always occupies space and time.

So movement is memory, movement is language, movement is control of emotions.

So for professor, it's not only physical movement, but it's something that impact with our memory, with our language.

And so it's very important to observe these aspects and to consider the most important key, space and time relationships.
