He has taught at the Zurich Neurological Institute,[5] the New York University, the Royal Ballet School,[6] the Royal Danish Ballet, the Ballet School of the Zurich Opera,[7] the University of Vienna,[8] the American Dance Festival. He has coached both world and European athletes that became champions, and Cirque du Soleil artists[9] in the Franklin Method.
The Franklin Method
The Franklin Method (in German, Franklin-Methode) was founded in 1994 and was originally for dancers. It was inspired by Mabel Elsworth Todd's ideokinesis, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen's Body-Mind Centering[10] and Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga. Extended from the dance field to every kind of human movement, this method combines dynamic science-based imagery, touch, anatomical embodiment and educational skills to create lasting positive change in body and mind, using a range of simple tools, like balls, Theraband,[11][12] and other daily life objects.
The Franklin Method activates body and mind function through the use of imagery, experiential anatomy and reconditioning movement to improve function.[13][failed verification] The principal goals are how to obtain dynamic body alignment and how to move the body with maximum efficiency .[14] In every moment, the ideal combination of limbs, joints, gravity, moving parts, connective tissue, and muscles must be found and directed by the brain and nervous system by help of appropriate imagery.
Imagery promotes a neurogenic changement of muscular condition which allows immediate results, before any myogenic (muscle tissue) one. Connective tissue and inner organs are also directly stimulated, with touch and visualization, in order to change posture and to obtain an inner and outer balance. The exercises have a considerable impact on lowering structural stress, too.
The method is taught all over the world, including the Universities of Vienna, Cologne, Karlsruhe, The Boston Conservatory and the Juilliard School in New York City. It is recognized by the health providers in Switzerland and courses are regularly offered at Dance,[15][16] Pilates, Yoga and Physiotherapy conferences.[17][18][19]
