The fundamental elements in body expression are the body, the space and the time, which converge and interact manifesting in the movement. Corporal Expression emerges as a current of Physical Education in the decade of the 60s, oriented towards creativity and free expressiveness of the body, promoting another way of treating movement where body, space and time are agglutinated.
The Body Expression´s goals are the development of the imagination, the pleasure of play, improvisation, spontaneity and creativity. The result is an enrichment of daily activities and personal growth. In addition, it teaches to find more profound and integral communication modalities, which impacts on the encounter with the others. Body expression enriches children's body language, fostering awareness and expression of their feelings.
