This paper develops the notion of experiential bodily knowing as a designer's (sens-)ability to reason about movement and responses to movement as part of the process of designing movement enabled interaction with artifacts, products and spaces.We arrived at this notion by reframing the practice of interaction design as a discipline of movement practice.We then conducted a study of the coming to know of bodily skill as a way of better understanding the nature of experiential bodily knowing and understanding generated through experiences of the moving body.From this study we suggest how this could translate as a designer's ability to understand how people might experience movement-enabled interaction.
