BalletBodyLogic (level 4) with Annemari Autère 3-9 Jul 2019 _________________________
BalletBodyLogic, created by Annemari Autere, is an innovative approach to movement analysis. Her vision of the muscular system consisting of inside and outside muscles where technique is taken care of by the deeper laying res muscle fibers, offers a unique approach to mastering the dancers’ instrument – the body. Based on basic movement patterns and the study of the fundamental principles of verticality and alignment BalletBodyLogic allows each dancer to approach an ideal skeletal alignment and thus effortlessly control various dance techniques. To cite Mabel E. Todd, “Why hold our bony parts together when we can let them sit or hang?”

Content
Every day a specific theme from the BalletBodyLogic movement analysis system will be reviewed in
details and applied to a sample class. While reference can be taken from topics addressed in previous
levels such as – letting balance take care of itself, feel pre-feel and re-feel, mastery through
visualisation and imagery, etc., in level 4 classes will be mainly focusing on:
Day 1: Pushing-off Gravity, alignment and effortless balance
Day 2: Spirals and energy lines in Ballet technique & Two sides of the turnout coin: duality
Day 3: Adage and its endless lines of energy
Day 4: Pirouette and its spirals
Day 5: From inner space towards outer space and Jumping with the spine
… And how to teach all this to others.
The programme may vary slightly from its original structure. Participants who have not participated
in previous levels are welcome as each topics would be addressed and revised independently each
day.
