Bartenieff Fundamentals is a movement system developed by Irmgard Bartenieff that focuses on the body's natural movement patterns. It emphasizes the importance of body awareness, alignment, and coordination to enhance physical expression and efficiency in movement. The fundamentals are often used in dance, therapy, and rehabilitation settings. The system consists of a series of exercises that explore different aspects of movement, such as weight, space, time, and flow. By practicing these fundamentals, individuals can improve their overall physical performance, increase body awareness, and develop a deeper connection between mind and body.
