Kinetic Awareness is a trademarked system of bodywork originated by the American choreographer Elaine Summers in the 1950s.〔 *Sally Banes, Democracy's Body, 1983〕〔 *Anne-Sargent Wooster, Elaine Summers, Moving to Dance, The Drama Review T88, 1980〕〔 *Ellen Saltonstall, Kinetic Awareness, Discovering your Bodymind, The Cultural Press, 1988〕 The practice is developed through close individual observation of proprioceptive and kinesthetic processes. This practice of heightening self-awareness is combined with objective information about anatomy. The resulting awareness is intended to develop one's full individual potential for healthy movement. Because of its use of hollow rubber balls to achieve deep muscle-relaxation, Kinetic Awareness is also referred to as "The Ball Work". == Characteristics == Kinetic Awareness relies on the individual's proprioceptive signals as the guiding principle, complemented by anatomical understanding of the body and guidance through a certified teacher. Physical pain and discomfort are treated as important warning signals of the body, and consequently avoided. Instead, the focus lies on discovering resting positions and movements that are accompanied by a sensation of pleasure and well-being. Hollow rubber balls are optionally placed under parts of the body to aid multi-directional movement, and to help to focus on the body part. Because of the slow, gentle movement, the balls also help to give a self-directed massage which can reach the deeper muscle-layers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kinetic Awareness」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
