Movements

The movements is the name given to the collective body of sacred dances that were collected or authored by G. I. Gurdjieff and taught to his students as part of the work of self observation and self study the aim of which was development of a stable subjective and then objective consciousness in the being of his students under his direction.

The movements are based upon traditional dances the Gurdjieff collected as he traveled throughout Central Asia and Africa coming in contact with various Sufi Orders, Buddhist centers, and other sources of traditional culture and learning. There were literally thousands of movements collected and taught by Gurdjieff throughout his teaching career. The music for the movements was written by Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann.
