Hear the move: the body language

Abstract

In this paper we discuss the relationship between language, body and education (art and physical), from the experience in the body expression workshop with a group of children between 4 and 11 years old, who come to the Human Communication Clinic of the University of the State of Morelos, to present some kind of alteration in the development, language problems, difficulties in written language or in the calculation. Education of the body has been delegated to physical education class or therapeutic intervention, ignoring arts education and the importance of gesture as a word, which favor the formation adds personal, social and educational for students. We believe that form a more just and egalitarian society demands a space where students are recognized as unique beings capable of expressing with the word or gesture.
