The Muscles: Anatomy for Movers
S06
Peggy Florin
For dancers, athletes, and those familiar with the anatomy of the skeleton. We will focus on the body’s muscular system and work to understand the integration of muscles within other body systems. With the aid of anatomical texts, we will investigate the nature of muscle tissue and learn the specifics of muscle placement and the mechanics of action. Touch, movement, muscle testing, drawing, and observation will be tools in this experiential study. Further inquiry into the development of movement skills, core strength, and muscle tone will give students the means to explore their own physicality.
