Основы Бартениф: Движение, дыхание и связь в теле.

Bartenieff Fundamentals are a set of principles for "corrective body movement" In the Basic Six everything is done starting in semi supine or supine. Additionally to the Basic Six Bartenieff describes variations and elaborations of these exercises which utilise more varied spatial and dynamic qualities and stronger muscular force. All descriptions below only describe one side but usually both sides will be explored. Peggy Hackney remarks

Consists of the above movements in the shoulder (glenohumeral) joint. The purpose is partly to sensitise the practitioner to the various planes of motion the body is capable as well as engaging movement in the shoulder joint.

From a supine position consists of a rhythmic rocking action of the whole body from the heels. Occurs in the sagittal plane. Although the movement is initiated in the ankles, it will usually progress through the entire body including the head.

From supine. Consists of sliding each foot, one at a time towards the pelvis, whilst maintaining awareness of a connection between the ischial tuberosities (sits bones) and the heels. Reverse the movement. The spine should not move and will usually need to be actively "grounded" in order to maintain its position.

From semi supine. Consists of lifting the femur up towards the chest, leading from the knee. Maintain the angle of the knee (i. e. the knee should not increase in flexion or extension) during this motion). Reverse and return the foot to the floor. Like the pre lift the spine will usually need to be actively "grounded".

From semi supine. The pelvis is lifted and brought towards the feet in the sagittal plane. Reverse the movement

quite simple it is Based on the physiological process of respiration and acknowledges both internal (cellular) respiration and external (lung) respiration. In addition to the basic physiological process of breathing, the growing and shrinking of the body through the breath has a significant impact on the musculature of the body and provides a background rhythm to all other activity. The body grows and shrinks as a single undifferentiated mass, as an amoeba, the simplest form of life, the most basic sense of being. The most fundamental movement, lungs and also oxygen in blood flow and saturation of cells (cellular breathing), moves through a rhythm of expanding and condensing. When breath is integrated throughout the body, then all parts of the body will move at least slightly in coordination with the in / out breath rhythm. In simple words the use of breathing pattern is to recuperate and get in touch with one’s own "internal state", with one’s body self, "proprioceptive self", "where you are in the moment", to find your entire body connected through your internal core.

Based on the connectivity between the centre of the body, identified as the navel, and the distal ends of the body, identified of the hands, feet, head and tail. This pattern resembles that of starfish and other sea creatures with similar patterns of locomotion. The breath gradually expands outwards connecting the inner core to limbs all 6 limbs (2 hands, 2 feet, head, tail) which reach outward away from center, and back inward toward center, like a starfish or octopus, squid, the core of the body is activated and connected through the midlimbs to the distal ends of limbs.

Based on the basic connectivity of the central axis. Includes the vertebral column but also includes the mobility and motility of other axial structures such as the digestive tract and the spinal cord. In the Basic Neurocellular this actually manifests as 2 prevertebral patterns mouthing and soft spinal and four vertebral patterns (see above). Spinal movement has a strong relationship with the horizontal plane and oral/anal rooting. "In Spinal movements, for example, we develop rolling, establish the horizontal plane, differentiate the front and back of our bodies, and gain the ability to attend. "To turn and twist into "new options", "can help unblock or unstick fixed notions", to find many other possibilities by following one’s own curiosity outwards into the world in flexible, twisting, plastique directions.

Based on differentiation of the upper and lower body. In Hackney's description this is not necessarily a symmetrical relationship, whilst the parallel in the Basic Neurocellular Patterns Homologous Movement this is symmetrical. In Upper Lower patterning the limbs are involved and mostly the upper body functions in mobility and articulation, whilst the lower body functions in stability and locomotion. Has a strong relationship with the saggital plane and reflexes such as the symmetrical tonic lumbar, symmetrical tonic neck, Babkin and Moro reflexes.</blockquote>

Based on the differentiation of the left and right sides of the bodies. One side of the body stabilised while the other mobilises. Movement usually switches from one side to the other but doesn't cross the midline. In the Basic Neurocellular Patterns this relates to homolateral movement and has a strong affinity with the vertical plane. "In homolateral movements we develop assymetrical movements such as crawling on our bellies and hopping on one leg, establish the vertical plane, differentiate the right side of our bodies from the left, and gain the ability to intend.

Based on the connectivity of an upper limb to an opposite lower limb, or a lower limb to its opposite upper limb. This tends to stimulate movement in spirals and is evident in complex human movement and is the basis of walking. "In contralateral movements we develop diagonal movements such as creeping on our hands and forelegs, walking, running and leaping; establish three dimensional movement; differentiate the diagonal quadrants of our bodies; and gain the ability to integrate our attention, intention and action."
