Wacky Wednesday Stick
Yesterday I talked about the term brisé télémaque.
Today I’m presenting a hint to help with brisés.
The position of the upper body is
important! There is a specific posture associated with brisés (see above photo), and it involves
the upper body leaning slightly forward (created by a contraction in the
abdominals) so in the air the dancer appears bent (“broken” see previous
blogs). The arms are also critical.
There is a tendency for the arms to “help”
the beats by moving back and forth and losing the correct positioning that has an
angle from the back arm (up) and the curved (in front of the ribs).
Imagine a stick (any sturdy kind will
do), connecting the back hand to the front hand. This will help prevent any
excess, unnecessary movements that will negatively affect the brisés.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Secret #15vvv:
“Imagine a stick connecting the two arms in brisé.”
