Fun Friday Geotropism
It's always fun to learn new words. Here is one: geotropism. It means: “the growth of a plant or immovable animal in
response to the force of gravity”. https://www.yourdictionary.com/geotropism
But it gets better. The roots of a plant
grow downward (this is called positive geotropism), while the shoots grow
upwards (negative geotropism). This is also called gravitropism.
Now consider all this when working on
your postural energy. The body lengthens upwards while at the same time you
send energy downward. Balletic geotropism!
All that and better vocabulary too!
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Ballet Secret #16nn:
“Think about geotropism for energy up and down.”
