We will focus on a pivotal concept of Klein Technique™, moving from the deepest structural and energetic tissue of the body, the bone. We will explore the functional anatomy of the muscles of deep structural support: the psoas, the hamstrings, the pelvic floor, and the external rotators. These muscles when put into proper use have the ability to change the relationships of the bones to one another and to maximize the transmission of force through the body. They bring the pelvis on top of the legs and connect the body to the floor and upwards to the space. We will intellectually explain and physically work with these muscles in order to consciously learn to use these muscles to bring the bones into alignment and, in turn, bring the body into a place of connectedness. This work leads to true power, strength and efficiency in movement.
In Klein Technique™ we look at the body as part of the living system of life and part of a systems approach to movement. We believe that the body exists within our gravitational system of the floor and the space. We do not exist in isolation, nor do we dance in isolation. We exist and dance with the ground, the space, and each other. To do so, with efficiency, we need to be connected.
Klein Technique™ is an education of the body on a profoundly deep level of understanding. We view and cultivate the body as an integral whole in order to maximize its full functional potential. Our aim is to develop dancers as unique movers, maximizing individual potential and essential self-knowledge that will lead to flourishing artistry and minimizing injury. www.kleintechnique.com
