The method to shift the way you look at dance

The Movement Equation: P = F + E + D

The G.E.M. method organizes and structures movement using a clear, measurable equation. Discover the four fundamentals designed to break your automatic patterns:
Form (F)
  • The Basis: The three-dimensional structure of bones and joints defined in spacetime.
  • The Essence: Form is never definitive; it is a living process in a constant state of being and becoming.
    Read more
Expression (E)
  • The Basis: Translating intention and sensory perception through the body and the skin.
  • The Essence: The bridge between the inner and outer world that gives specific identity and content to the three-dimensional form.
    Read more
Dynamics (D)
  • The Basis: Altering the activity of body parts through the conscious regulation of force and muscle tension.
  • The Essence: The motor operating in the fourth dimension (time) that determines how a form transforms from moment to moment.
    Read more
Personality (P)
  • The Basis: The deliberate synthesis and merging of Form, Expression, and Dynamics.
  • The Essence: The fifth dimension where you embrace your individual blueprint. You dance your own DNA.

What the G.E.M. Method Can Do For You

The method offers an objective and judgment-free learning system that consistently focuses on avoiding assumptions. You learn to observe and act entirely without judgment. By working with objective information, the funnel technique, and targeted questioning (who, what, where, when, why, and how), you discover automatic patterns to perceive them factually.
The G.E.M. method provides the tools to:

    • Expand your movement vocabulary: Gain deep insight into movement science and discover new terminology that enhances your vocabulary. You translate this directly into physical actions.
    • Train your proprioception: Increase daily awareness of the interaction between body and mind, focusing specifically on the 10 primary body parts.
    • Achieve focused perception: Train both your interoception and exteroceptie by focusing on four fundamental pillars: seeing, hearing, feeling, and thinking.
    • Stimulate independence: Discover how to independently make the right choices, then train them through repetition to bring about lasting change.

The GEM keeps you moving!

A Universal Method for Professionals and Amateurs

The G.E.M. method provides concrete handles and tools to make choices from your being. Because the final form emerges organically during the process, this system is universal and directly applicable to:

  • Vocational Colleges & Universities (MBO/HBO): A foundational learning system for all types of dance and movement forms.
  • Teachers, Instructors, Trainers, and Coaches: Professionals aiming for an objective, judgment-free, assumption-free, and effective pedagogy.
  • Choreographers, Dancers, and Performers: Artists seeking to systematically enhance their coordination and artistic individuality.

Discover the foundation of the method

Proprioception, interoception, and exteroception—together with general body awareness—form the absolute foundation of the G.E.M. method. This learning system provides all the necessary tools to factually dissect movement.
Do you want to discover how to activate this sixth sense, break automatic habits, and translate the theory directly into practice?
In the book The G.E.M. method – Dance from a different perspective, you will gain the exact context and terminology behind the laws of Form, Expression, Dynamics, and Personality.

Proprioception - Body awareness

The word proprioception comes from the Latin words: proprius and perception (self or self-perception).

Proprioception is an unknown sixth sense and needs the other five senses. This sixth sense is the queen of the senses. It is very important for overall motor skills (motor perception) and its execution. Proprioception is the self-perception to perceive the position of own body and body parts in Space-Time.

You develop through self-observation, conscious coordination of your body parts, during your daily activities. You have your body with you every day and sometimes you forget this.

Consciously train your daily activities such as: dressing, walking, running, showering, eating, feeling texture, writing, etc. This will support you in your activities of dance and sports. And bring these to a higher quality level. You can therefore train more effectively and develop faster in your coordination points (body parts)

Through self-observation of your strength, stretch, reflex, balance, and isolation training, you shorten the training time on all your activities. Because your senses, body, mind and environment are connected. The body is a soundboard of who we are.
