Attention and Focus in Dance: Enhancing Power, Precision, and Artistry
Autor Clare Guss-Westen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 oct 2020
Deși publicul percepe adesea dansul ca pe un efort pur fizic de control și măiestrie tehnică, Clare Guss-West propune o viziune contrastantă: adevărata performanță rezidă în gestionarea mentală a atenției. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care acest volum, Attention and Focus in Dance, reușește să transforme cercetarea academică a Gabrielei Wulf într-un instrument de lucru palpabil pentru sala de repetiții. Considerăm că forța acestui titlu stă în capacitatea de a demonstra că oboseala cronică și accidentările nu sunt simple consecințe ale efortului, ci rezultatul unei distribuții ineficiente a resurselor atenționale.
Pe raftul de artă, alături de Functional Awareness, acest album de tehnici se distinge prin fundamentul său neuroștiințific aplicat riguros asupra biomecanicii. În timp ce Functional Awareness se concentrează pe anatomia întrupată, lucrarea de față prioritizează „artileria” mentală, oferind strategii de filtrare a informațiilor pentru a evita supraîncărcarea senzorială. Cititorul experimentează o lectură sistematică, trecând de la înțelegerea modului în care principiile orientale de flux se intersectează cu știința vestică, la exerciții concrete de „self-cueing” pentru postură și port de bras.
Formatul de tip paperback este dens în informație, dar accesibil, integrând mărturii ale profesioniștilor care au adoptat deja aceste metode. Stilul autoarei, care îmbină experiența de coregraf cu cea de terapeut holistic, imprimă textului un ton pragmatic. Experiența de lectură este una de recalibrare: nu ești învățat noi mișcări, ci ești ghidat să le optimizezi pe cele existente prin ajustarea focusului, eliberând astfel rezerve de putere și stamina pe care dansatorul le credea epuizate.

Descriere
The Western approach to dance is largely focused on control and mastery of technique, both of which are certainly necessary skills for improving performance. But mindful attention, despite its critical role in high performance, has gotten short shrift-until now. Attention and Focus in Dance, a how-to book rooted in the 30 years of attentional focus findings of researcher Gabriele Wulf, will help dancers unlock their power and stamina reserves, enabling efficient movement, heightening their sensory perception and releasing their dance potential.
Author Clare Guss-West-a professional dancer, choreographer, teacher and holistic practitioner-presents a systematic, science-based approach to the mental work of dance. Her approach helps dancers hone the skills of attention, focus and self-cueing to replenish energy and enhance their physical and artistic performance. A Unique, Research-Based Approach Here is what Attention and Focus in Dance offers readers: A unique approach, connecting the foundations of Eastern movement with Western movement formsResearch-based teaching practices in diverse contexts, including professional dance companies, private studios, and programs for dancers with special needs or movement challengesTestimonies and tips from international professional dancers and dance educators who use the book's approach in their training and teachingA dance-centric focus that can be easily integrated into existing training and teaching practice, in rehearsal, or in rehabilitation contexts to provide immediate and long-term benefits Guss-West explores attentional focus techniques for dancers, teachers and dance health care practitioners, making practical connections between research, movement theory and day-to-day dance practice.
"Many dancers are using excessive energy deployment and significant counterproductive effort, and that can lead to a global movement dysfunction, lack of stamina and an increased risk of injury," says Guss-West. "Attentional focus training is the most relevant study that sport science and Eastern-movement practice can bring to dance."Book Organisation The text is organised into two parts. Part I guides dancers in looking at the attentional challenges and information overload that many professional dancers suffer from.
It outlines the need for a systematic attention and focus strategy, and it explains how scientific research on attentional focus relates to dance practice. This part also examines the ways in which Eastern-movement principles intersect with and complement scientific findings, and it examines how the Eastern and scientific concepts can breathe new life into basic dance elements such as posture, turnout and port de bras. Attention and focus techniques are included for replenishing energy and protecting against energy depletion and exhaustion.
Part II presents attention and focus strategies for teaching, self-coaching and cueing. It addresses attentional focus cues for beginners and for more advanced dancers and professionals, and it places attentional focus in the broader context of holistic teaching strategies. Maximising Dance Potential "Whether cueing others or yourself, cueing for high performance is an art," Guss-West says.
"Readers will discover how to format cues and feedback to facilitate effective neuromuscular response and enhance dancer recall of information and accessibility while dancing."Attention and Focus in Dance offers an abundance of research-backed concepts and inspirational ideas that can help dancers in their learning and performance. This book aids readers in filtering information and directing their focus for optimal physical effect. Ultimately, it guides dancers and teachers in being the best version of themselves and maximising their potential in dance.
