Hands that are available and present for touching, communicating, relating, acting… hands that are free and differentiated for exploring space and matter, skilled for creating shapes and setting them in motion…
Our hands are part of those extremities through and with which we relate to the surrounding world and to others, whether to receive information or to express ourselves. The mobility of the fingers and their differentiation from one another make our hands extremely sensitive and agile instruments for receiving and acting. Whether we’re touching, writing, drawing or playing an instrument, our hands are a veritable medium for expressing our intelligence, sensitivity and creative ability.
We’ll discover the chain of integration that links each finger to the spinal column, mobilize the joints of the wrist, elbow and shoulder, and explore the qualities of sensitive touch, a genuine dialogue between skin, muscle and bone with the thing being felt.
The work proposed during the lessons will enable each and every one to:
* Feel and mobilize the integration chain linking hand, arm, shoulder blade, collarbone and spine, enabling effortless movement without joint limitation (wrist/elbow/shoulder), differentiated and harmonious movement, whether for graphics, instrumental play, sporting gestures or manual activity.
* Rediscover freedom of movement in the wrists, which is essential if the hand and fingers are to move in space and adapt to the object being touched or held.
* Discover the many finger joints and their different mobilities for greater mobility and agility.
* Refine the quality of touch, a veritable dialogue between skin, muscle and bone between self and ”the thing touched”.
* Develop the ability to dialogue with the higher nervous system through differentiation in the hand (one of the areas most represented in the motor cortex) and the development of a genuine quality of movement and action
