A Franklin módszer mentális gyakorlatainak alkalmazása a táncoktatásban

Abstract

Cognitive psychology, motion sciences and sport psychology widely accept the approach that technologies based on the intended use of mental representations significantly contribute to the development of sensory and motor functions. The method of Franklin also confirms that internal imaging and coordination capabilities correlate. In the anatomy of dance and the development of dance skills, visualization forms a bridge. Based on Jacobson's neuromuscular theory and Annett's ALI model, the image created in the brain impacts the activity of the muscles without performing the movement. Visualization helps to create future movements. The dancer learns his/her motion more deeply from multiple aspects. Throughout imagination, we use several modalities to create the internal image. Due to this process, it will be more effective to implement the movement sequence. This methodological overview contains a detailed theoretical and practical presentation of Franklin's technique. The use of creative children’s dance may be advantageous for preparing visualization techniques. The authors recommend the dance pedagogical application of these tools at all ages.
