Andreas Technique

Feedback from Routine: (Abby and Emma)
  • They could tell I knew what i was doing, fluidity was good. Although, it could be even tighter.
  • Watch out when turning direction, as i tend to move my pelvis to get to the right direction still. MUST PRACTICE THIS.
  • I wasn't rushing through the sequence but the momentum i had was leading me through it, and the fluidity of that comes hand in hand.

I was elated about this feedback, simply because in past weeks confidence has been a massive issue for me. Today, I started to feel like a dancer rather than someone wanting to be one, and getting myself into that mindset proves to be very positive.

Contact with hands and feet

In experiental anatomy, we focused on moving through the floor through the hands and feet. We had a score of just moving across the floor in one direction, starting to move standing and gradually working your way to the floor and with this, I decided as a personal goal to focus on keeping my feet and my hands particularly grounded. It is an awful habit of mine to overbend on the pads of my hands and cause unnecessary tension in my wrists, which always leaves my wrists aching afterwards. http://www.footelastic.com/index.php?p=1_13_Your-Feet-Are-Miracle-Of-Nature I found that I like to move rapidly across the floor but actually, whilst slowing down I got all the benefit out of it, as the slower I went on my own, the more fluid and diverse my movements were across the floor. We then carried this score out in partners and, again, this made all the difference in the fact that the self consciousness of what I was doing went completely out of my head and i...

Movement Study Task 1, 2 and 3

Task 1: Learning about the Arthrometric model was interesting for me, I tended to notice what movement was coming from my hips and shoulders in the central zone. When running around the room, I was practising articulating my feet (using my metatarsals, hinge joint) and the gliding joints in my feet. I find that knowing the terminology for different parts of your body helps to image them when moving. I didn't fully know what to notice or understand the purpose. Learning about the radial symmetry was informative, ie; elbows and knees are biaxial, cannot alter direction but can offer full range in movement, and the joints from the knees to the ankles are triaxial, as are joints from elbow to hand. It's quite complicated and would take a few physical exercises of exploration, to fully grasp . The Arthrometric Model Source: Andrea Olsen -  Body Stories Task 2: It was interesting to learn about the ribs because I didn't know much about the anatomy of how the rib...
