"(...) combines manual therapy skills with the exciting new field of structural therapy, which employs the unique and newly discovered properties of fascial tissues. Fascia, our biological fabric, plays a vital role in support, posture, and stability. Through informed assessment and manipulation of fascial patterns, you can help eradicate many of your client's chronic strain patterns - for good.
The book is designed for any bodywork practitioner using manual therapy. Physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and massage therapists can help their current and future clients by giving them a structural analysis and creating a treatment strategy using the techniques included in this book. The authors bring together a unique introduction to fascially informed structural anatomy with a method for postural analysis and detailed and easily applied techniques." -- P. [4] de la couv.

"(...) explores the multifaceted learning processes and underlying principles behind the technical skills and abilities of a contemporary dancer. The depth and complexity of this challenging sensorial, intellectual, reflective and creative process is presented with clarity, to support every training dancer in achieving the most from their learning experiences.
Insights into three major technical forms - Graham technique, Cunningham technique and Release-based technique - reveal the distinct approaches, processes and experences possible in contemporary dance training. Esential technical and performance considerations are covered, including: breath, alignment, core activation, connectivity, dynamic qualities of motion, use of the body, use of space, action, [and] relationships to the audience.

"(...) Though it contains some general advice for begginers, this book is not meant as an introduction and complete course of ballet instruction. Rather it singles out common errors of technique and taste to be found in experienced dancers, and lucidly suggests how they should be remedied. Grouped under general headings - studies of legs, arms, body, principal positions, etc - the work concentrates particularly on ronds de jambe, arabesques, attitudes (which Blasis is credited with inventing, but probably did not), entrechats and pirouettes. Blasis's own drawings illustrate de text." -- P [4] de la couv.

Titre original: The modern dance.

"Martha Graham, Doris Humphrey, Charles Weidman, Helen Tamiris et Hanya Holm (américaine depuis peu) se produisaient tous régulièrement et attiraient un public intéressé par la pensée 'radicale' (...) Martin assistait à toutes leurs représentations. Il créa un vocabulaire afin de présenter leur travail aux lecteurs de son journal. Il entreprit la tâche herculéenne de rapprocher le public de ces artistes. Un tâche qu'il n'eût jamais pu mener à bien s'il n'avait lui-même cru à leur travail avec la conviction totale qui était la sienne. Ce groupe n'était pas homogène. Les danseurs ne s'inspiraient ni de la danse ethnique ni du ballet traditionnel. C'étaient des penseurs modernes, et leur danse était moderne, elle ne relevait pas du passé. Dans un sens, Martin devint la sage-femme du nouvel art. Sans sa vision, son intuition, ses analyses et son acuité littéraire, la danse moderne aurait pu être mort-née."--P. [4] de la couv.

"Ce livre est en fait le texte de quatre conférences données à la New school for social research à New York pendant la saison 1931-1932, destinées à préparer une série de conférences /démonstrations sur ce qui était, à l'époque, un sujet assez mal connu. Publié une première fois en 1933, il est ici réédité sans aucune modification, et représente peut-être un des permiers, sinon le premier, essai d'analyse de la danse moderne américaine"-- J. Martin, 1965, p. [17].

"New edition of a worldwide bestseller which helps you expand your vision and practice with global functional patterns - now with website containing supporting video and podcasts! (...)
This volume clearly describes functionally integrated body wide continuities whitin the fascial webbing forming traceable 'meridians' of myofascia. Stability, strain, tension, fixation, resilience and postural compensation are all distributed via these lines. Bsed on the meridian map, this book presents many new and holistic strategies for manual and movementtherapists to restore and ehance posture and movement function. (...) -- P [4] de la couv.

"In What a Body Can Do, Ben Spatz develops, for the first time, a rigorous theory of embodied technique as knowledge. He argues that understranding technique as a field of both training and research has much to offer current discussions around the role of practice in the university, including the debates over "practice as research."
Drawing on critical perspectives from the sociology of knowledge, phenomenology, dance studies, enactive cognition, and other areas, Spatz argues that technique is a major area of historical and ongoing research in physical culture, performing arts, and everyday life."-P.4 de la couverture.
