You have to understand the force through the floor, through you, into your hands, into them.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae1179e840001f8738e/1565477310856/04-development.jpg Method - Development The Itcush Method is a series of exercises and theories derived from the Mitzvah Technique developed by M. Cohen-Nehemia and intended to develop optimal physical functioning through balancing muscle tissue and aligning the skeleton. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae1396cb10001ae81c0/1565477342662/05-balancingforces.jpg Method - Down To Go Up Our bodies are in a dynamic state of constant rebalancing - the shift of the balancing forces. The more a body connects with the weight, the more it accesses the force or the spring. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae107d0f70001451bc7/1565477369754/06-sitting-in-a-chair-.jpg Method - Patterns of Misuse Increasing kinaesthetic awareness in everyday patterns leads to the understanding that there is no dancing body, acting body, sleeping body, and so forth. The body is always the body. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae1f28ae6000113432c/1565477433275/07-breakingathip.jpg Method - Hands on Table and Chair The body moves according to familiar movement patterns. When a habitual pattern prevents optimal physical functioning, the pattern needs to be changed. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae2e4fa4d0001d60238/1565477476056/08-sunrisesunset.jpg Method - Self Maintenance Exercises In this work, activation of the primary principles and theories are crucial in order to develop the student’s cognitive and physical understanding of how change in the body occurs. Between sessions, there is a need to maintain changes brought about by hands-on work. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae23a25ad0001a9c97d/1565396683801/09-pointeshoe.jpg Method - Itcush into Dance Amelia was determined to reduce injury and physical distortion in the practice of dance. The goal was to bridge the gap between dance’s extreme relationship with gravity and a more healthful and ultimately restorative movement practice: movement that fed the body. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae278253b0001748ee2/1565477538939/10-emptysock.jpg Method - Soft Foot The foot does not prepare to hit the ground. It simply remains open to the experience of interacting with an uneven surface. This is why wearing shoes is so problematic – the shoe predetermines the foot's shape when it hits the ground. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae256a30500013cd94d/1584916392755/lineofenergy.jpg Method - Line of Direction Line of direction supports us in space, allows us to turn and cut though space, guiding us. Eventually the lines are no longer an idea - they actually exist. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae34112640001891863/1565477591480/12-washingmachine.jpg Method - CN Tower “I walk backwards, its great for balance.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae3f28ae60001134338/1565477611103/13-pelvis.jpg Method - Changes “After experiencing Amelia’s hands, I felt there is something to this, but I was still stubborn towards it. Only when there was a revolutionary change in my body did I really grasp the importance.” https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/5d4d8ac456a30500013cd746/5d4d8ae34db33b00014a3fa5/1565477630607/14-animalwalk.jpg Method - Fantasia Pushing down off the floor with the foot or knees allows force to travel up through the leg, triggering the pelvis, and travelling on up into the spine. It creates a rippling motion in the spine all the way to the head. https://www.ameliaitcush.com/origins daily 0.75 2019-10-16 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/t/5da66b982f46d156f8955afc/1571076405083/ Origins -

With a Russian nightclub dancer named Beth Evans, she formed a floor show act, which they enterprisingly toured through small town Ontario. At 6 foot 4, Beth was a tap dancer with some ballet background who belly danced, swallowed fire and swords, and danced with snakes and candles. Evans finally headed for France, and joined the Folies Bergere. https://www.ameliaitcush.com/fearlessness daily 0.75 2020-02-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/t/5da9f528048dae7efe372329/1571523518588/Amelia-TDT-web.jpg Fearlessness collection of Amelia Itcush https://www.ameliaitcush.com/enter-toronto-dance-theatre daily 0.75 2019-10-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/t/5d3e7d790458890001910793/1571360575614/IMG_3068-web.jpg Enter Toronto Dance Theatre Amelia Itcush in David Earle’s Angelic Visitation #1, 1968.

They had a picnic, and Amelia was playing games with the boys. They were playing “Can you see a frog? Can you see a fish?” and so on, and she realized her son was really quick to notice things. David would notice immediately whereas the other little boy took longer, so Amelia asked David how he could see the frog so quickly. David replied “I didn’t see the frog, Mom, I saw something move” and she realized that her son saw not the object, but the movement. He was seeing movement in space.” Davidson Leader Newspaper article International students travel to Davidson to learn from local Mitzvah master, Jan 2010 https://www.ameliaitcush.com/about daily 0.75 2019-10-30 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/t/5da53cb2585d552f6b26646e/1571522201710/amelia-vignette-contact.jpg About https://www.ameliaitcush.com/amelias-nehemia daily 0.75 2019-10-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/t/5da9f485bafdbf297741f83f/1571419296374/22-nehemia-and-amelia.jpg Amelia's Nehemia courtesy Kathy Morgan https://www.ameliaitcush.com/amelia daily 0.75 2020-02-18 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d1037c114ec31000175ce73/t/5e4c0fca8ecac674bac653e2/1582043090834/amelia-poem.jpg Amelia photo Kenny Lescano
