[ebooks] Secrets of Backyard Bird Photography by J. Chris Hansen in Arts-Photography

Description

Both Sides of the Mirror starts with the premise that skeletal equilibrium promotes harmonious musculature; which in turn makes harmonious movement possible. Early training establishes neuromuscular patterns that form the foundation of later technique. If the training is sound; the young student may become a graceful dancer who is challenged to extend technical skills further and further.This second edition; published in 1992; incorporates kinesiology; biomechanics and physiology into the theories of ballet. Paskevska places the technical explanations within the spirit of the art form. The book contains material on the progression of training; which it uses to illustrate the possibilities and limitations of the body while cultivating balanced self-awareness for dance students and performing artists.Chapters include: Introduction: A Personal Statement; Physical Requirements; Posture and Placement; Progression of Training; Sequence of a Ballet Class; Barre Work; Positions; Port de Bras and Arabesques; Weight Transference and Jumps; Principles of Turning; Pointe Work; Style; Classical and Modern Dance. Includes 47 illustrations.
