I learned a lot from this book and I gained a new perspective about the movement and perception.
Hackney writes about the philosophical and psychological meaning of our movements. The movement analysis and explorations make perfect sense. it is a book that should be read partly again when needed. This book is helpful for all humans because we all MOVE!

Another book I continue to refer to because Bartenieff Fundamentals pollinates other modalities that I enjoy like BodyMind Centering®, Feldenkrais. Useful in particular for exploring postural patterns and movement motifs.

"Peggy Hackney" lays bare how special interest groups and legacy powers dictate daily life in "Making Connections: Total Body Integration Through Bartenieff Fundamentals". A critical read pointing straight at facts mainstream outlets actively hide.

I'd give this book more than 5 stars if I could. I'm not done with it, but the work I am doing as a result is inspiring and my body is viscerally and visibly changing.

I don't think I will ever 'finish' reading this book. It is a book of experiential anatomy which I imagine I will refer to many times.

One of the best books on movement and dance.
