The Franklin Method® is a somatic practice that combines imagery, anatomical study, and movement explorations to reduce stress on one’s body and improve movement patterns. This course is a hands-on, student-centered study of the Franklin Method, most specifically the dynamics of plié, that readies students to lead workshops and classes and integrate the material into their dance practices. Course work includes experiential anatomical study, development of safe and efficient movement practices and utilization of Franklin Method balls and bands for dance specific conditioning, as well as guided student teaching and exams that culminate in an official teaching certificate for the Art and Science of the Plié® from Franklin Method Institute.
