Drawing on her experiences during private instructional sessions with Sweigard over a two-year span, Williams discusses methods using imagery for improving body posture and alignment for ease of movement. Central to Williams's own teaching methods is the application of Sweigard's principles and general anatomical instruction, including how she used visual imagery to help prevent bodily injuries and increasing body awareness relative to movement. Williams also emphasizes the differences between kinesthetic (internal) and mirror (external) imagery and shares reactions from professional dancers who were taught using ideokinesis. Williams's account of teaching and practicing ideokinesis is supplemented with essays by Sweigard, William James, and Jean-Georges Noverre on dancing, posture, and habits. Teaching Dancing with Ideokinetic Principles offers an important historical perspective and valuable insights from years of teaching experience into how ideokinesis can shape a larger philosophy of the dance"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Dance $x Study and teaching. 650 0 $a Dance $x Physiological aspects. 650 0 $a Human mechanics. 650 0 $a Movement, Aesthetics of. 650 7 $a PERFORMING ARTS / Dance / General $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a EDUCATION / Teaching Methods & Materials / Arts & Humanities $2 bisacsh 941 $a 3 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191119044353.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825094447.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20111215010523.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9754D93009D711E183938E966AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
