Nous nous appuyons sur l’épistémologie de l’analyse d’activité afin de faire ressortir les convergences et divergences entre les points de vue singuliers, tout en facilitant le passage d’une sémantique professionnelle à une sémantique d’intelligibilité de l’activité considérée. L’étude de terrain est conduite selon la méthodologie psycho-phénoménologique de l’explicitation qui vise à accompagner les experts dans la dimension introspective de leur activité d’analyse du mouvement. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que le croisement des deux approches permettra, in fine, d’articuler de manière plus complète les composantes expressives et fonctionnelles du mouvement et contribuera à réactualiser le schéma conceptuel de Laban à la lumière des nouvelles connaissances en analyse du mouvement.

However, in order for an individual to fully develop this awareness, bodily experiences that might be understood at a pre-linguistic level must eventually be put into words. While students are often asked to reflect on their embodied experiences during somatic education lessons, very little attention is paid to how they verbalize these experiences, or to the techniques employed by educators to solicit such verbalizations. This chapter presents an experimental use of an introspective, phenomenological interview technique known as the “explicitation interview” directly following a somatic exploration on walking patterns in a workshop based on a French movement analysis approach known as Functional Analysis of the Dancing Body (Analyse Fonctionnelle du Corps dans le Mouvement Dansé AFCMD). Since this interview technique is designed to solicit precise verbalizations of lived past experiences, it permits the implicit knowledge contained within a movement to emerge explicitly on the linguistic level and may allow individuals to gain a deeper awareness of their movement practices.

In order to better understand the nature of the observation-analysis activity which underpins both systems, ten experts of each approach are asked to analyse a dance sequence: the discourse and gesture used to describe dance movement is then analysed, bringing to light points of convergence and divergence as well as the processes and activities which comprise the gaze. Methodological choices are presented – the psycho-phenomenological perspective through the explicitation interview founded by Pierre Vermersch (2000, 2012) and the activity analysis proposed by Jean-Marie Barbier (2011) – as well as some of the premises emerging from the first stage of data analysis.
